Now the GitHub SourceURL guidelines[1] said: "For the source tarball, you should use this syntax: https://github.com/$OWNER/$PROJECT/archive/%{commit}/%{name}-%{version}-%{shortcommit}.tar.gz"; Well, each time I have to %global %{commit} and {shortcommit}, I think it's boring. Now looking at: https://github.com/$OWNER/$PROJECT/tags If the author has tagged the release, GitHub will offer each tag with 3 links: Zipball URL/ Tarball URL and a link to the commit of this tag. I only discuss tarball, tarball offers this URL: https://github.com/$OWNER/$PROJECT/archive/%{version}.tar.gz So my question is that can we use this URL as the Source0 instead of the guidelines said? Thanks. [1]----https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#Github -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
