What I would like to see is
solid git integration. Git has become the standard distributed vcs
and github and google code etc have stopped hosting tarballs and/or
discouraging it and GNOME is planning to do that as well. If Source
URL could point directly to a git url with a hash or git tag, we
would benefit.
Amen to that! I roll my own rpms daily from locally developed sources
where we have no policy of pushing tarballs. From everything I've ever
been able to figure out, it's necessary for me to make temporary tarballs
just to feed rpmbuild. It always seems such a huge waste of time,
especially for very large packages.
RPM would still be making tarballs behind the scenes, even with better
integration with git, wouldn't it? -- you still need the ability to make
SRPMs.
But rpm could just do a git-tar-tree behind the scenes, which sounds
easy enough.
Thanks & regards, Phil
