It's just a more recent version of those packages, right? Not a different branch or repo? Then it's OK to submit patches to update those versions. You can put some people in CC with a request to test it, e.g. Carlo Caione , the original author, or Carlos Quijano , who bumped it for cubieboard2. > I could modify the *.mk and Config files to make the commit id a > configurable item and if not set use the current commit ID.

Configurable package versions are generally a bad idea. If it is really necessary, you could add a choice in sunxi-boards that offers a few well-defined versions or repos.
