It's more or less what I already do. But good packages need lot of tests
and sometimes an SVN revision is better than a release:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/slacke17/files/slacke17/ 

The files that I'm going to commit are for advanced people willing to
test svn. It's like an easy_e17.sh script but that goes nicely with the
Slackware packaging system. It is not meant for shipping binaries.
Actually, I need this myself, because SlackE17 will surely not move till
E17 release, and I need to test change very often. I thought it was
better to keep this in the trunk for now.

Sometimes, I like to track issues :-)
