When thats done the entire package is taken from EPEL. So, if you buildrequire foo and it's in both epel and rhel it will use the epel version. koji will not use the rhel version for anything at all. The reason that policy has: "Change the release of the package to have a leading 0. EXAMPLE: RHEL has foobar-1.0-1, you change it to foobar-1.0-0.1 for EPEL." Is not for koji, but for end users. That makes the EPEL version lower E-N-V-R than the rhel one for arches that rhel ships it, so people get the rhel version. kevin
