--- Comment #4 from Rich Mattes <richmattes@xxxxxxxxx> ---
The source is downloadable upstream:
http://modclub.rigsofrods.com/xavi/SkyX/SkyX-v0.4.rar
http://modclub.rigsofrods.com/xavi/SkyX/SkyX-v0.3_CMake.rar

The problem is that:
1. They're packaged as .rar files, which can't be extracted without "unrar"
from rpmfusion
2. The CMake build scripts and the sources are in two separate archives, and
need to be combined before the program can be built.

Step two could be done in the spec file by specifying both source archives and
then merging Source0 and Source1, but we can't extract rar archives on the
buildsys.  The create_tarball_skyx.sh script that is included in the srpm
downloads and combines both rar archives, and then packages them up in a bzip
compressed tar in a reproducable way (minus timestamp issues.)

I haven't gotten a response from upstream about the FSF address issues, but
I'll try to get in touch and request a source release that is packaged as
something other than a rar file when they fix the FSF addresses.
