I think i frased that wrongly, i wasnt asking for dates to be changed 
(else i'd ask you to have all this done 5 years ago! ;-). I am more 
looking for a 'signal' that says "we are about the release in 2 days, 
packages so far are in .../staging somewhere, please do your thing 
packaging team".

Since i can not commit these new specs to the cvs (no write acces), nor 
do i think that the developers would apreciate the dozens on bugs in 
bugzilla with new .spec files attached (and i still cannot escape the 
impression that bugzilla is used by every package maintainer).

So a posible solution would be to include the spec files in the final 
release .tar.gz just before the release date (alowing simultaniously 
release of .rpm / .srpm's).

Another posible solution would be if someone with commit access would be 
willing to port in the new .spec files, and hook them up to the autogen 
system apropiatly..
