Hello, 
yes it is possible to refer to the git commit.
For example https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/yara/blob/rawhide/f/yara.spec
(I mostly use stable releases, but time to time I have to switch to a git 
snapshot during major version stabilization or when there is some public 
vulnerability announced).
I even have it in one spec file with a tarball release and able to switch 
with the conditional build "--with release" or "--without release".

# Baserelease for the engineering team to auto-update the release version 
when rebuilding packages



%global baserelease 1




Relevant parts:
# Github metadata



%global         gituser         VirusTotal

%global         gitname         yara

%global         gitdate         20240213


%global         commit          8fa55cde4c0cde8a1ba4ced1c131827eb4005f0d

%global         shortcommit     %(c=%{commit}; echo ${c:0:7})

 
# Release referring to github metadata
Release: %{baserelease}.%{gitdate}git%{shortcommit}%{?dist}




# Source refering to specific commit



Source0: https://github.com/%{gituser}/%{gitname}/archive/%{commit}/%{name}-
%{version}-git%{gitdate}-%{shortcommit}.tar.gz



# preparation using the commit directory
%prep
%autosetup -n %{gitname}-%{commit} -p 1








Best regards
Michal Ambroz

Předmět: Spec file using github repo - not tarball
"Is it possible for a .spec file to clone a github.com repo rather than 
download a tarball? Can someone link to a working example?

I found a few hints that it's possible. However, the fedoraproject.org
examples use pseudocode or placeholders. I'd like a working example.
