make upload FILES="new_version_of_file"
It'll supplant the old one and update sources accordingly with the new
checksum.

Never have used 'new-sources' myself, I've always just used 'upload'. Wouldn't
be surprised if they were just aliases for one another though... Ah, no,
they're a bit different. 'new-sources' blows away your existing sources file
and only puts the new files in it. 'upload' adds the new file to your
existing sources.

If you changed sources in devel, then moved back to F-8, no, you wouldn't see
the change there. You have to make the change on all branches you want it to
show up on (sorta the point of branches... :). Or am I misunderstanding you?
