setup your environment as follow:

$ export CVSROOT=:ext:USERNAME@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/pkgs

checkout package, apply modify and commit

$ cd ~/cvs
$ cvs co <package_name>
$ cd <package_name>/devel
$ wget -N http://<your_repository>/<your_new_tarball>.tar.gz
$ make new-sources FILES="<your_new_tarball>.tar.gz"
$ gedit <package_name>.spec (apply modify in spec file)
