What's the best way to go about this? Check out the Naming Guidelines page on the Fedora Wiki: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#head-18aa467fc6925455e44be682fd336667a17e8933 There you'll find some guidelines with a discussion of how to handle cvs versions and such. A quick example. Say you're building gtkpod from CVS. You could use something like this in your spec file: %define cvs_date 20061126 Name: gtkpod Version: 0.99.9 Release: 0.2.%{cvs_date} This way, whenever 0.99.9 is released you can simply bump the Release field to 1 and it will take precedence over all of your 0.99.9 CVS builds.
