No-no-no!
I mean what i only want to build package with some patches
(like RedHat and other distributors do). Look for example
on emacs or kernel packages in RH.  It's contains tons of patches
but still named as 'emacs' or 'kernel'. Yes, i understand what
some patches can be added to main YUM.

Of cause all packages folow same version numbers with yum.

Life would be so much easier if
                        we could just look at the source code.
