Don't tell me that the maintainer has no git installed. End users fetch the generated tarball to build/distribute kexec-tools. AFAIK the rpm spec file is generated and only available in the generated tarball. They don't need git. Only the maintainer which generates the distribution tarball needs git... Thanks, //richard
