Reading one of my fav blogs( www.vivalinux.com.ar [ES]) im seen a 
campain of mandriva for adopt a package(rpm) without maintainer..


But the point its mandriva have a command called mdvsys


That command can update a package only passing the new version


$ mdvsys update <package_name> <new_version>


And it update/build a new rpm.

So we can improvement that idea for something a bash script what use:

cd /tmp
cvc co <package>
sed s/version=\"oldversion\"/version=\"newversion\"/g
cvc cook
sudo conary update <package-newversion>

And community test and update packages cooked locally and report the new 
version works o hsve problems and submit on FITS.

That command can be a fast move to involve more voluntaries to 
foresightlinux.


What do you think.... Someone can devel it ?

Im work now on a website what community can voting for metadata info on 
packages (like reddit) ... its on process... and get a way for populate 
metadata on packages.
