more specifically, you would make a gcc4.2 package, and make it conflict/replace gcc4 (and then update the existing gcc4 package to conflict/replace gcc4.2). Of course, if libgcc doesn't change, but libgfortran does, things get trickier. If that is the case, your best bet would be to splitoffize the libs separately (gcc4-libgfortran-shlibs, gcc4-libgcc-shlibs, etc.) and then make a new packages that creates a gcc4.2-libgfortran-shlibs or something similar. - -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
