Description Nils Philippsen 2005-06-17 13:39:29 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:

Description of problem:
When upgrading from an updated FC3 to FC4, the ImageMagick packages won't get updated because the RPM release of the FC4 packages is lower than that of the corresponding FC3 updates. This is particularly bad because that way the user misses all the security related goodies coming with gcc4.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ImageMagick-6.2.2.0-2.fc3, ImageMagick-6.2.2.0-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade an updated FC3 with ImagMagick packages to FC4
  

Actual Results:  ImageMagick packages won't get updated

Expected Results:  ImageMagick packages get updated

Additional info:

When using disttags, ensure that the release tag of packages in a released version of the distribution are always lower than in Rawhide/devel. This can be achieved e.g. using one of these schemes for the release tag (with %dist being the distver tag, e.g. "fc3", "fc4" and %rel being the release nummber to base on, beware of pseudo code):

- the manual way: released distro: "0.%dist.%rel", Rawhide/devel "%rel"
- a variant, based on a distver being defined by the buildsystem (or in the spec file) for released distro versions but not in Rawhide/devel: "%{?dist:0.%dist.}%rel"
