</I>><i> configuring the package is "sane", then it is easy, if it is a
</I>><i> hacked-together spec/build-system it is hard.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> But bugfixreleases (i.e. just micro version changed for most package
</I>><i> versioning schemes) should just consist of updating the source-tarball

You dont get me,
I mean, stop asking updates for mageia 1 just because there is another
newversion.
