In the yum.conf section, create a new repo (or override the local one). For example, I've added this in some of my configs: [scratch] name=scratch baseurl=file:///path/to/repo Then, put your ocaml packages in /path/to/repo and run createrepo on that dir to create the metadata that yum needs. Now when you call mock it will look in your scratch repo as well as the standard ones and it should use your updated ocaml packages. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: <a href="http://www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp">www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp</a> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I got stopped by a cop the other day.
