I see a "Source1" tarball from github. If a github published archive isn't reasonable for a Source tarball, there are a *lot* of other .spec files that would need to be rejected. Some of the other logic about this is peculiar, but that particular "including a separate tarball" part looks legal in and of itself. The Samba and Subversion and Emacs SRPM's, for example, have included separate tarballs for years. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
