[rhelv6-list] rebuilt package not showing selected for update

[Collins, Kevin [BEELINE]]

Corey,

	I think my concern is that if I change that, my check-update may not find package updates from RedHat... and I want to know about those.

Thanks,

Kevin

Sorry, that should have read....

I've not done much with rhel6 yet....

Anyway, I just looked again and you haven't signed the package. Either
sign it, or make sure your yum config has gpgcheck=0 and see if that
works...

Also, I must admit I am surprised that your stuff actually updated
with identical names. You really should be changing the release in
some way since you seem to be maintaining your own version anyway. I
usually put an addition tag on, like ...

rpmbuild --define 'dist .el6.beeline' -bb ksh.spec

that way it's easier to identify which rpm's are yours on a system and
not redhat's ....  sort of good form.....
