We all know that. I and some other people just want .spec files to have
their version number up to date. That doesn't seem to happen so when
I'm building rpm's to install stuff for my laptop I get wrong version 
numbers and that eats up time. Just change the version in the spec file
when you change versions. And on cvs too. Thanks.
