Yeah, it's not idea. They should just pull it from our upstream source
repo by the tag we apply when we make the release we package. Then
they're much better setup to provide patches back to us in a preferred
manner.
Lets start moving beyond the tarball crap.
Is there already support for this in rpmbuild? Can I use a SCM url as
Source0 in spec files? This would be off course very useful.
