Manipulate %setup" to build a local compilation directory, but not unload tarballs, and then in the "%build" step do a git pull froom your git repo. And add "BuildRequires: /usr/bin/git". But this means that your SRPM's will not have the available build materials, and will require an outside web access to download source code. This is *tremendous* source control problem. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
