Hi Robert,
I am finally at the point where I have a new set of rpms (newer patch
level) to apply to a system.
excellent!
Problem is there is no change in the rpm name, so yum does not see
anything to update (even if the file create date is more recent).
The RPMs are like this:
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/hipl-daemon-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm
Is there a magic yum parameter to get the update applied?
Feel free to experiment with the Release number:
test/packaging/hipl.spec
Version: 1.0.4
Release: 1

The configuration files are not managed by yum/rpm. Hipd creates them by
itself and removal of rpm does not remove the HIs.
Or perhaps the patch number should be included in the rpm name? The SIP
communicator project does this with their nightly rpms.
I have named the current version as 1.0.4 in anticipation of the next
release in the version control. I would recommend that you change your
local copy to 1.0.3-2 so that you'd stay in sync with the version numbering.
I have intentionally delayed the release (again) so that we can work out
some known issues with the dnsproxy (689, 698, 701, 702 and 703). I want
the release to be as stable as possible.
Btw, there are some notes doc/HACKING on running your own repo
(RETRIEVING HIPL PACKAGES FROM A REPOSITORY) but I am sure that you are
already familiar with such things.
