The only time we should be modifying tarballs is when the tarball would cause us to ship something in the SRPM that Fedora: - doesn't have permission to distribute - doesn't permit because of its license - would be violating known patents to ship In 99% of the other cases, leave the tarball alone and edit the content in the spec. ~spot -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
