Yes, and let me add that the ".fc10" and ".fc11" (the dist-tag) is part of the package "Release" value not just the package file name. That makes the .fc11 package "newer than" the .fc10 package in RPM's view, which is particularly important if internally it really differs from the .fc10 build (e.g. in terms of compiler generated code, library versions, dependencies). -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
