Brian,
I agree that epoch is not something I want to use. Do you think
it makes more sense to do "2%{dist}.chevron" or "2%{dist}.chevron.1"?
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin, as soon as you add Epoch to the mix, you can forget updating to a
Red Hat-built package if that package does not have an Epoch. Once you
set the Epoch, you cannot update to an RPM without an Epoch without
removing the RPM and re-installing the one without an Epoch.
I would suggest using the other method of 2%{dist}.chevron.1 or
2.0.1%{dist}. Red Hat does not version RPMs with two dots, so as long
as they release 2.1%{dist} or 3%{dist}, your RPM would be updated to the
Red Hat version.
