Many 1000 thanks to Fernando. This is the best solution. I forgot that rpm compares segment-wise and that longer stings are "newer". I suggest all repos to use Fernando' suggestion, rhfc1, if they are using rhXX for RHL. Please do use the same disttag for creating a uniform versioning, .e.g. foo-1.2.3-4.rhfc1.at Replace ".at" with your own repotag, none, if you don't want one, or ".fr", ".dag", ".che", ".ccrma", ".rb", ".kde4rh" (just suggestions). Note: the repotag (contrary to the disttag) should not be part of the rpm ordering, which is why it should come last. Thank you Fernando, your brain was needed!
