I'm working on updating gpsbabel to the new version but upstream has removed all direct download links to the source. Through watching HTTP headers I was able to find the a download URL like this: http://www.gpsbabel.org/plan9.php?dl=gpsbabel-1.3.5.tar.gz This makes rpmbuild unhappy if I include it as the Source0 since it thinks the file is "plan9.php?dl=gpsbabel-1.3.5.tar.gz", and moreover I'm subverting upstream's distribution system by using this (and it could easily be changed again). What are people's recommendations for dealing with this? I've asked the dev if there is a direct download link but they said that there wasn't; they wanted to present the "project" rather than "a pile of bits". Should I just put a comment in the docs as to where the source can be downloaded and point at the local source? -Doug
