I was told by a guy who doesn't work here anymore that using the Epoch:
keyword with a high number will stop a package from a repo from
overwriting your rpm, like if you use:
Epoch: 10000
This only works if you are building your own rpms so you can insert that
in the spec file. Highest Epoch wins, and any non-zero Epoch wins over a
missing Epoch. Kinda messed up way of doing it I guess but it works. It
isn't locked though. Not sure how that could be done.
I may have misunderstood what it is you are trying to do...

Of course, that doesn't prevent a 'rpm -U' from updating it... :)

Unless you get really creative, and build the package with some
%pretrans requirements that need a trigger file to be set, before it
proceeds. Or anything else equally ridiculous as that. :)
