The new version of my spec file has
Version: 20100101.4
Release: 1%{?dist}
The previous version has
Version: 20080403
Release: 3%{?dist}
I mistakenly checked in and did a
make tag
make build
with the new version and wish to go back to the old version
(I changed EL-5 when I meant to change EL-6).
Using cvs, I could revert my spec file to its previous version. Then
change the release to
Version: 20080403
Release: 4%{?dist}
then add a comment in the log that release 4 is the same as release 3,
then revert by sources and .cvsignore files, then commit the changes in
cvs, then do
make tag
make build
1. Would this work ?
2. Is this the best way to revert to a previous release ?

I suppose you could untag the package in koji, and then just commit a
older version back to cvs.
Are you needing to update the older version? Or just don't want the
newer one to go out until you fix it up?

If you expand a bit more on exactly what you built and what you want to
do we can give more detailed info.
