Maintaining local versions of packages is a nightmare. Rather than being able to specify that I want my build to be the same as the upstream build, except that I want my locally-maintained path series applied, and different options to configure, instead I have to hand-edit the spec file every time I roll a package forward.

Actually, this has been solved in Sylpheed's spec file for several years. All I have to do is:

SYLPHEED_CONFIGURE_FLAGS="--disable-ipv6" SYLPHEED_REL_DIST="1mypkg.fc6" rpmbuild -tb --clean sylpheed-2.2.7.tar.bz
