Is there a way to set the priorities to which rpm package the build

$ build --help

Specify path where to find the RPMs for the build system

That will specify the paths to the RPMs, but that doesn't specify the
priorities for the packages, which was what was asked.

From my experience using both the build script and the build service, if
there are packages with the same package name, then the package with the
higher/highest version number seems to be the one that gets installed.
Where there are multiple packages that satisfy the various build
dependencies, you'll very likely to end up with a "have choice for..."
build error[0] unless you specify which package to install.


[0] As happens to me quite frequently when building Perl packages
because someone had an incredibly bright idea and sitescooper seems to
provide every single Perl dependency that it can.
