I'm trying to build a localized repository:
Fedora + Updates + Local Packages
Some of the local packages are derived from the mainline. I
make some [minor] changes to match my hardware (sadly, my
mods aren't suitable for pushing upstream). I want to keep
the version+revision pretty much intact so I know where the
package came from, etc. For example, I need to have a slightly
modified X server (uncommon hardware, yeah!). So, I started
with the package:
xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-40.fc8.src.rpm
I make my little change and rebuild, creating:
xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-40_AM.fc8.src.rpm
along with the desired binary packages.
I'm trying to run pungi to create a munged/tailored repository,
using the official versions of Fedora & Updates. Sadly, it
seems that the original package always seems to override the
one with my modifications, e.g.
xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-40.fc8.src.rpm
is chosen, even when both it and
xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-40_AM.fc8.src.rpm
are present.
Is there a way to set the version so that my package always
wins? That way, I can use the 100% official repositories as
the starting point and only have my little mods.
Thanks for any pointers
n.b. at the moment, I'm just pruning the packages I need to
change out of the official versions (local copies of course),
but this is tedious and fraught with error.
