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


I *wish* it made a difference. I did an upgrade am an left with a host of fc10 packages because the fc11 ones weren't considered newer.


For example people with updates-testing enabled on fc10 got a non-upgraded yum because the versions were the same (except for fc10/fc11) and it stopped working because python went from 2.5 to 2.6.... So to RPM the fc10/fc11 isn't being compared, at least not that I can see...

it really differs from the .fc10 build (e.g. in terms of compiler
generated code, library versions, dependencies).

It would definitely help if it did though...
