Well, yes, I changed the name. And the release version, as it is my
*own* package, not following yum.conf (as I have a local repository for
CentOS and our own stuff, which is kept in sync via rsync).
My package provides yumconf (as does centos-yumconf), to ensure, that my
package doesn't get overwritten, I set the epoch in my RPM to 10. Maybe
I have to think about that in 5 to 6 years, but then I just could set
the Epoch of my package to 20 :)
So even if centos-yumconf does get a higher release version than my
package does, the high Epoch still keeps my package from being
overwritten by yum.
