Right, so this is what Kanarip was talking about the other day on IRC. Consider the case: - I have foo-1.0-1 in epel8 and epel8-playground - I want to play with foo-2.0 in playground, so I tweak packages.cfg and build it in playground. - Later I decide its stable so I build foo-2.0-1 in epel8. - A update comes out to 2.1, so I build foo-2.1-1 in epel8, but I didn't put the packages.cfg back and the version in epel8-playground is now foo-2.0-1 still. - I later try and build bar-2.0 in epel8-playground, and it builds against foo-2.0-1 instead of foo-2.1 I guess the expectation is that the maintainer should put the packages.cfg back in place when merging back to epel8, but I could see this getting forgotten. So, perhaps the best way forward here is some reporting? ie, check upgrade path between all epel8 and epel8-playground packages. The playgound ones should always upgrade the epel8 one. kevin
