yum reinstall; does this quite well - also we dont want anything like that for centos QA. We dont test how pkgs change in place, the aim is to test how user side stuff changes through upgrades.
If I may ask a CentOS QA process question, then, is what is the QA on making sure that the package that gets pushed to -testing and then to -updates is the latest build of a particular EVR tuple? Just curious, since buildtime seems a reasonable thing to use for that sort of thing. Or, for that matter, that the QA feedback is for the correct build of a particular EVR for a package?
Like I said, just curious, because I did run into that issue, which is why I always bumped release on RPMs I pushed out even for the most trivial rebuild reason; I got burned by it once; but if the question is inappropriate, my apologies.
