You can set the name of the file via the GitHub API when you download it. For jQuery (packaged as js-jquery), I use: https://github.com/jquery/jquery/archive/%{version}/jquery-%{version}.tar.gz
This will work for any GitHub project which tags released versions: https://github.com/<user-or-group>/<repo>/archive/<tag-commit-or-branch>/<preferred-file-name>.tar.gz <https://github.com/<user-or-group>/<repo>/archive/<tagName>/<preferred-file-name>.tar.gz> For yours: https://github.com/maitra/thaali/archive/master/<preferred-file-name>.tar.gz But, you shouldn't use "master". You should be more specific about which commit you are using, for reproducibility: https://github.com/maitra/thaali/archive/7452ae99fe01e7cea6b70881c486775cd1b32186/<preferred-file-name>.tar.gz Some projects do something like: %global commit 7452ae99fe01e7cea6b70881c486775cd1b32186 %global shortcommit %(c=%{commit}; echo ${c:0:7}) ... Source0: https://github.com/maitra/thaali/archive/%{commit}/%{name}-%{commit}.tar.gz ... %prep %setup -qn %{name}-%{commit} ... Hope that helps.
