-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! For a project I want to replace some files from packages with my own in some FC6 boxes. I run my own repositories, but all boxes yum updates from the official mirrors. For a test run I want to replace the grub loading pic and the default desktop wallpaper. What way would you suggest? * I could simply create a rpm which contains the new files Pro: simple Con: get's overwritten each time the package containing the original files gets updated * I can find out, which package contains the files and put one with the same name but a higher major release into my own repository. This new one should contain its original contents with just the files replaced I want to. Pro: Can't get "overupdated" Con: May break dependencies * I can create a package containing my new files and new config files, referring to the new files instead of the original ones. Pro: Seems to be a rather "clean" attempt. Con: May get overwritten by updated original packages. Produces lots of work merging my config with the original one of new packages * I could have all boxes syncing to my own repos and include fedora core, extras, livna, etc. every repo which contains packages I want files to be replaced and just replace the files in those packages. Pro: Really, really "clean" attempt Con: lots, lots of work for me and my servers. Any other ideas?
