You have to love them:
code:
- PKG_NAME="connman"
- # DO NOT UPGRADE!!
- -PKG_VERSION="1.23"
- +PKG_VERSION="1.30"
That would be the easy way, but I that case I would never start the project

I think that I will stick with it and patch things as they come. This is opensource and someone who prefers stability could certainly do that. Maybe we can even contribute upstream.
