[Mageia-dev] Faster GNOME package submission

I've enhanced my mga-gnome script to be able to increase the version
number + reset %mkrel in an existing spec file. The script is meant for
GNOME related packages/versions!

To e.g. increase boabab to version 3.3.2:
  # just once:
  mkdir ~/src ~/bin ~/pkgs
  cd ~/src
  svn co svn+ssh://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/mga-gnome/trunk mga-gnome
  cd ~/bin
  ln -s ~/src/mga-gnome mga-gnome
  # command itself:
  mga-gnome increase baobab 3.3.2

This will:
  cd ~/pkgs
  mgarepo co baobab
  - checks current version is newer than existing version
  - do some regexp magic to increase version + reset %mkrel
  - some verifications for the regexp magic
  mgarepo sync -d    (downloads the new version)
  bm -p --nodeps     (check that patches apply)

I want it to also check the version more closely, e.g.:
 3.3.x -> 3.3.y : OK (unstable->unstable)
 3.3.x -> 3.4.0 : OK (unstable->stable)
 3.2.x -> 3.2.y : OK (stable->stable)
 3.2.x -> 3.3.y : NOT OK (stable->unstable)

You might get a few bad looking tracebacks when "mgarepo" or "bm" fails.
I have to make the output a bit nicer.

Anyway, I've just tried this with a few packages. In future, I might
automatically even do:
  mgarepo ci -m "new version"
  mgarepo submit
But I want to first do more testing, plus add SHA256 verification (what
GNOME uses and advises).
