If I were to pull it from git, I'd be fairly put out to find I didn't have the build instructions as embodied in the spec file. I see the spec file as the primary "scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable."
Why can't packaging use the spec file from the repo? -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa coco merseine nu Z1aaaaaaa coco merseine nu -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 Please do not reply off-list
