What about cases where we need to rebuild the package internally for a mass
rebuild, a java change or whatnot? Especially if it doesn't line up with a
rebuild upstream, do we just have to convince jpackage to do a spurious
rebuild?
Why? We have our release number.
We already do this now: ......3jpp.1 in FC6 with a rebuild becomes
.....3jpp.2 and the scripts do this automatically using the jpp as
delimeter.
Otherwise, we're going to bump and build within our CVS, then next
time you import an srpm from upstream, you'll stomp on any changes we've
made.
We have been doing this for a few years now, it was never any problem.
Now that the spec files are the same upstream we do an import and spend
1 minute or 2 with vimdiff to merge changelog entries and adjust the
release tag.
It is been very easy for us (Java team) and we are very happy with this
process.
