Mock operates with yum repositories. If you provide a yum repository
with your new build, and point a mock config at this new yum repository,
you can start using your new build in mock chroots, for further build
attempts of other packages.

You don't have to ask rel-eng, just:
koji untag-pkg dist-f10 boost-1.36.0-0.1.beta1.fc10
Koji will let you untag packages you built yourself.

Yes, it's against policies. But I don't see how bumping Epoch is better than
untagging a build which was in Rawhide for just one day and which hardly
anybody will have installed anyway due to broken deps.

I've done that at the morning, not knowing there's a policy forbidding it.

Thanks,

That's OK, building a new package with a higher Epoch can always be done later
if rel-eng/FESCo/whoever thinks it is really necessary and worth being stuck
with the higher Epoch forever.
