### Rebuilding and overwriting existing local packages
If for whatever reason a package has been built and it is available in your local repository
and you have to rebuild it without bumping its `version` or `revision` fields, it is possible
to accomplish this task easily with `xbps-src`:
Packages are overwritten on every build to make getting package with changed build options easy.
To make xbps-src skip build and preserve first package build with with given version and revision,
same as in official void repository, set `XBPS_PRESERVE_PKGS=yes` in `etc/conf` file.
$ ./xbps-src -f pkg xbps
Reinstalling a package in your target `rootdir` can be easily done too:
Reinstalling this package in your target `rootdir` can be easily done too:
$ xbps-install --repository=/path/to/local/repo -yf xbps-0.25_1
$ xbps-install --repository=/path/to/local/repo -yff xbps-0.25_1
Using `-f` flag twice will overwrite configuration files.
> Please note that the `package expression` must be properly defined to explicitly pick up
the package from the desired repository.
