The funny thing is that given maintainers do this all the time so they'll work faster, and he's apparently figuring it all out the hard way the first time, by the time he's done the maintainers have likely already uploaded. Probably. Or at least they could have.
- peterwwillis 12y agoIt's usually not that simple. If you already have passed the learning curve of knowing intimately how to maintain packages for your distro, it's a "simple" matter of updating the old .spec files with the newer versions and sending the distro maintainers your newer .spec. But there's no guarantee they'll incorporate your new package in a timely manner (and it will go into an -UNSTABLE tree anyway, which his Centos 6 install isn't using)
