We have to do it in a way that makes the exploaded tree useful for managing your CHANGES to that exploaded tree. We don't let the sourcerpm passed into the buildsystem be of a modified tarball, we continue to force it to be the unmodified upstream tarball plus the patches that you've been managing with the exploaded tree applied to it. This continues to enforce the patches are valid to a known release, allows you to use exploaded tree to manage the patches, gives upstream a place to cherry pick changes from, or old style patch files to deal with. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
