If you have any ideas I'd like to hear them. A super epoch has
already
been suggested but that just masks the problem and may cause unwanted
downgrades. Any solution either involves severly limiting what kind
of
updates can be done or requiring network access during upgrades.
How about something in bodhi that checks you aren't introducing this
problem, forcing you to push a higher NVR package to $nextrelease
first
before you can push it to updates?
Considering these updates are supposed to be for our 'stable' release,
having them be in $nextrelease first seems like a good idea anyway.
Doesn't actually help when upgrading from the static DVD or release
repo. Updates to the new release have to be enabled at upgrade time
for this to help.
