Hi, Thanks. What is the easiest way (and most correct) to bump the release number ? is it just rename the new rpm I created to something a bit higher, like net-tools-1.60-88.fc9.x86_64.rpm (instead of net-tools-1.60-87.fc9.x86_64.rpm)? Or are there any more things I should do (change spec file, etc) in order to "bump the release number" ?
