Unbelievable. How did this happen? For the FC-2 and older branches
it is likely, because these cannot be created by us (see FC3Status
page in the fedoraproject.org Wiki). But for packages in "devel"
all should be up-to-date.

make new-sources FILES="foo1.tar.gz foo2.tar.gz"

  Uploads files into lookaside cache and creates a new "sources"
  file in your local working copy. You need to commit the "sources"
  files manually.


make upload FILES="foo1.tar.gz foo2.tar.gz"

  Same as above, but _appends_ to local "sources" files.


cvs-import.sh

  Can auto-import full source rpms and create new modules on-the-fly.
  Default branch is "devel". Other branches like "-b FC-2".
