According to fedora-rpmvercmp from the rpmdevtools package, foo-0.6.5-7.fc7 is newer than foo-0.6.5-7L.fc7. I'd be more inclined to append a .1 to the release to make it foo-0.6.5-7.fc7.1. That will be newer to rpm. $ fedora-rpmvercmp 0.6.5-7.fc7 0.6.5-7L.fc7 0:0.6.5-7.fc7 is newer $ fedora-rpmvercmp 0.6.5-7.fc7 0.6.5-7.fc7.1 0:0.6.5-7.fc7.1 is newer There is some discussion of the version and release tags in the package naming guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
