Subject: how to avoid package naming conflicts?

Hi all,
I have just a short (and maybe stupid) question:
I want to build a RPM and SRPM for a library, cause I need the latest
version from upstream. My problem is, the package allready exists in
Fedora repo (older version), so there would be a naming conflict.
How do I avoid this conflict? Just put something in the name to identify
it clearly?
Btw: The library is libewf and I need it for sleuthkit for forensics,
but it doesn't build with current libewf in F8. If all goes fine I also
would like to set up my own repo.
Thank you so far.
Regards,
Use rpm -Uhv to install your newer version. Grab the RPMs you wish to
use the new library with and rpmbuild --rebuild them. Use rpm -Uhv
--force --replacefiles to install the programs.
Or, as mentioned, get the maintainer to update.
