I just have to say that if upstream authors include a bug-fix without |

releasing a new version (and a differently named tarball), they need a |

good clubbing. |

I can see a reason to release the same version of software with a |
| 12 |
documentation update (readme, authors, known issues, faq, etc), which |
| 13 |
would cause a different tarball with the same name. |

But if any of the sources change, I feel that should *always* be a new version. |
