irrspective of which channel is sources it from.
If you want another version you can use the '@' format as you have already
worked out.
Another way is to define the package is to keep the 'name' of the original,
but the defin
I have my own channel in a Git repository on my local computer.
This is what I do to search and install packages from my own channel:
$ cd /path/to/my-channel/
