Just in case it's what Neil asks: you can avoid the whole clone thing with: 1) untar each tarball in the same directory 2) for i in */*; do mv `pwd`/$i .; done At least that's what Fedora and I do as well. But as Norbert pointed out, if you are not building a distro package or something similar, you should use git so you can contribute back easier. :)
