I think, but I'm not sure now, that when I tried to tag in the package, it failed, probably because of some previous step (such as pushing it for an update). After that I went hunting for anything that would work and sounded right. And to be honest, I didn't really plan the whole process as it was a new package for EPEL10, I was concentrating on making sure that it would build, and once I got it working, I then turned around and thought I better fix up the related packages. > > We could write in more context about when you might need to use those > commands, but when I write long explanations about things, people say > they're too long and they gave up reading.
