Do you know why is it needed exactly?
It's needed because is a simple and effective way to get the files needed to build the directory tree from where build the rpm packages. However, we can provide an alternative to the users that don't build from a SVN tree, by having available the list of files needed (currently in a file named "hb_flst.tmp", and created inside the "pack_src.sh" script, both in the bin/ dir) to those users. The only drawback is that we need to have updated the file list all the time when a change is made to the source tree, but I think that this is a minor detail because the users (with SVN write access granted) that will build the package also will update the file list and upload it. In fact, the script "pack_src.sh" seems to be ready to do this with little changes, so I have changed the script and added the "hb_flst.tmp" file to the SVN .
