One thing you can try is to create an rpm package that will require
mozilla 1.0rc1-0 and provide mozilla 1.0rc1-1_rh7
Here is a generic spec I use. I usually only need to change the top
defines. In this case the versions have to be changed a bit. Save it as
mozilla_1.0rc1-1_rh7_from_1.0rc1-0.spec, do the necessary changes, run:
rpm -bb mozilla_1.0rc1-1_rh7_from_1.0rc1-0.spec
and install the produced rpm package.
