FAQ:Switch Labels on Installed Packages and Groups

| Question: How do I install software from a different label than the current one? | ||
Answer: You can install software packages (troves) with Conary by specifying the label explicitly. For example, gnome-audio is installed from rpl:1:
[you@yourhost ~]$conary q gnome-audio --full-versions gnome-audio=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/2.0.0-5-0.1[~!builddocs]
The above may resemble an rpl:devel version if you aren't looking carefully, but it's really a shadow from rpl:devel into rpl:1, and is the official rpl:1 version.
Now, to get a newer version from rpl:devel, you can use a command like this:
[root@yourhost ~]#conary update gnome-audio=conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel
Applying update job:
Update gnome-audio(:data :doc) (/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/2.0.0-5-0.1[~!builddocs] -> /conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel/2.0.0-6-1[~!builddocs])
You can also abbreviate, specifying only the part of the label that is different:
# conary update gnome-audio=:devel
Applying update job:
Update gnome-audio(:data :doc) (/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/2.0.0-5-0.1[~!builddocs] -> /conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel/2.0.0-6-1[~!builddocs])
