In best case just build against the other repository, so build against devel:tools:compiler/$repo instead of copying the binaries. It does not waste disk space, does not require re-signing and will not break when the other packager decides to play with dependencies.
use a branch, when you need build it in a different way (eg. for another distribution or with some source change).
Well, none of that was in the wiki last time I checked, especially the bits about how not to waste disk space or re-signing.
Then it would be great if one add the explanation Adrian has given to the wiki article. Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
