The dist tag is part of the R in EVR, however, so whenever you rpmbuild something in order to _rebuild_ it, you need to bump the R to turn the build into a valid update. For dist-specific rebuilds, you would append your own least-significant release value at the right side of the dist tag. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
