This is used for partial product kits that are built and shipped separately from the product packages, and are identified with a I name of I.B. Optionally, change the kit release and version values when building the new kit tarfile. If kitcomponent version and/or release values are defaulted to the kit values, those will also be changed and new kitcomponent rpms will be built. If kit or kitcomponent scripts, plugins, or other files specify name, release, or version substitution strings, these will all be replaced with the new values when built into the new complete kit tarfile I/I.B.
