If I haven't done a "fedpkg new-source ..." then it blindly downloads the current source from the sources file even though it is no longer referenced in the spec file. It could check to see if the sources in the spec file match what's in sources. So I end up uploading the new sources (without commiting) to work around this behavior. But what if there's a problem and I end up choosing not to build the package? The file is already uploaded... For small packages it's not a huge deal, just an annoyance, but there are packages that the upstream sources are more than 300MB. Thanks, Richard
