&gt;<i>Well, the old simple logic works...
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>lets say we &quot;abuse&quot; the release tag, for example changing &quot;mga&quot; &gt;to &quot;mgt&quot;
</I>&gt;<i>then if the user enables &quot;tainted&quot; (meaning he/she wants the &gt;rpms) urpmi
</I>&gt;<i>will automatically get the &quot;mgt&quot; ones, no questions asked...
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>simple, and effective.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>and since the rebuild should be automatically on our bs, the &gt;versions
</I>&gt;<i>will stay in sync.
</I>
That seems to be the easyest compromise.
Allowing to use the existing spec files from mdv and plf with the least
modifications.

2 problems indeed :
for sysadmin point of view :
Is the BS able to build and dispatch two different versions of the same rpm
(core and tainted) ? 

for the user
Is the package manager able to substitue simply a tainted rpm to a core rpm
if the tainted repos are selected ?
