I would not even need to have an Epoch (evil! :-). I could make my kernel version-release higher than the Fedora kernels (they all seem to start with a release of "1.xxx" where xxx is the number being incremented. But that does not really solve the problem. At some point you might _want_ to install a Fedora kernel to test something and then you would not be able to because it was "older". > Or just have the custom kernel package do > Provides: kernel-ccrma > and have the things that need the special kernel require that? Yum will still refuse to install it as the kernel will still be older than the latest Fedora kernel. It is not a matter of what is provided or required, it is rpm itself that needs to be told that installing an older package of a multiply-installed package is just fine. -- Fernando
