Yeah, it's not really designed for easy sharing accross packages. It looks up things like: https://src.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/rpms/<pkgname>/<source.tar.gz>/<checksum type>/<checksum> So, since the package name is in there if you just move it the archive isn't under that and it doesn't work. ;( It would likely need a redesign to support that use case sadly. kevin
