Hey, I'm just sayin'. This is the most straightforward approach, if it's only a few packages, and you're already maintaining them as different from upstream, and intend to keep doing that, and you don't care that you can't ever undo this choice (even if you decide to go with an unmodified Fedora OpenSSH when they come to their senses and disallow root logins, etc., you'll still need to bump the epoch or break upgrades). We did this with our Apt rpm for BU Linux, to keep people who mixed repositories from accidentally getting switched. And I don't regret it one bit. :) -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> Current office temperature: 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
