I package a github-hosted package, and I ran across this when I was testing with rpmlint. It is too bad that GitHub tries to be so "clever". After reading http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#Troublesome_URLs, here is what I have in my .spec: # Similar to MySQL, github has a mirror redirector for its downloads. # You can find this tarball at the following canonical URL: # http://github.com/masterzen/mysql-snmp/tarball/v1.0rc2 Source0: masterzen-mysql-snmp-v1.0rc2-0-gdec3ef8.tar.gz > Finally, debian has a web app to resolve these issues at: > > http://githubredir.debian.net/ Cool idea, although it feels a bit like using some sort of URL shortener. I wish GitHub would just fix their stuff. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
