Hi,

Because of a leagl issue, I have to remove a file from the upstream
archive in one of my RPMs [1]

How should I do that ?

Is it as simple as:

1. extract the upstream archive
2. remove the said file
3. create again an archive with the same name and use it as Source0

Is there something I should take care of concerning timestamps or
other subtleties ?

Should I mention what I did to the upstream archive in my spec file ?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
