The new version of my spec file has<br>
Version: 20100101.4<br>
Release: 1%{?dist}<br>
The previous version has<br>
Version: 20080403<br>
Release: 3%{?dist}<br>
<br>
I mistakenly checked in and did a <br>
make tag<br>
make build<br>
with the new version and wish to go back to the old version <br>
(I changed EL-5 when I meant to change EL-6).<br>
<br>
Using cvs, I could revert my spec file to its previous version. Then
change the release to<br>
Version: 20080403<br>
Release: 4%{?dist}<br>
then add a comment in the log that release 4 is the same as release 3, <br>
then revert by sources and .cvsignore files, then commit the changes in
cvs, then do<br>
make tag<br>
make build<br>
<br>
1. Would this work ?<br>
2. Is this the best way to revert to a previous release ?<br>

As far as the EPEL-5 distribution is concerned, if you didn't push the
update through bodhi, it's fine don't worry that it's gone into Koji.
I don't know CVS well enough to know how to cleanly revert (I
generally use Subversion or Git)

I suppose you could untag the package in koji, and then just commit a
older version back to cvs.
Are you needing to update the older version? Or just don't want the
newer one to go out until you fix it up?

<pre wrap="">I've CCed in the EPEL devel list which almost certainly includes a

If you expand a bit more on exactly what you built and what you want to
do we can give more detailed info.
