We generate different srpms with the Makefile that exists in each
subdirectory. For example, if you want an srpm for the web module
cd spacewalk.git/web; make srpm

Want one for the java code, then cd spacewalk.git/java.

With SVN it seems completely doable because I could give the
path to repo/spacewalk/java and have koji checkout just that
directory. Seems to be a limitation of GIT in this case
(or we're using it wrong) :)

In theory, if there was a way I could tell koji to pull
from this git repo, and cd into this directory, you'll find
the spec file and Makefile there :)

Is there a real reason for them to be all in one module?
Because this is how we had it in SVN, then switched to git. :)

For our purposes, we might go the route of the admins.
