One of the problems I've encountered with this approach is that the upstream Git repo links to (a lot of) submodules. If you're lucky those submodules point at Git repos and sha1s that don't disappear over time. It doesn't really capture the entire "source" like I get with an upstream release tarball. - Ken _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
