I did read that page, bug didn't see this issue addressed.

What I tried is:


make new-sources FILES="~/RPM/SOURCES/mercurial-1.0.tar.gz  ~/RPM/SOURCES/mercurial-site-start.el"

Just to be clear:
both of these files were already present.  I made a minor change to the 2nd.

I have the feeling that this was not the correct thing to do.
Previously, sources only listed the tar.

If I move to F-8, and do cvs-update, I don't see the change to sources, which leads me
to suspect I did the wrong thing.
