The easiest way to repackage packman packages which are build by my 
build script is to use my packman_rebuild.sh script, you can start it 
with architecture and source rpm as parameter (for example 
'packman_rebuild.sh ppc libxine1-1.1.0-12.pm.0.src.rpm'), the package 
will be rebuild, signed, uploaded and the entry in the web interface is 
done automaticly.

should be the same version. So
