I'll let conversation happen on the merrits of bumping or not bumping epoch. However for buildsystem to enforce this, that's a pretty tough nut to solve, since any build could get tagged for any variety of collections, regardless of nvr. In fact, the buildsystem (by design) only enforces unique n-v-r, so you couldn't do 1:n-v-r and 2:n-v-r, the buildsystem would freak. You'd have to do 2:n-v-r+1 or some other unique 'n-v-r'. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
