No, all non-source files in the srpm are unbzip2'ed before they go into cvs, but I seem to remember that files that weren't bzip2'ed did not end up in cvs for some reason. Look here: http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/contrib-SPECS/mysqlcc/ This came from: [bgmilne@bgmilne SRPMS.mdk9.1]$ rpm -qlp mysqlcc-0.8.6a-1mdk.src.rpm mysqlcc-0.8.6a-defaultpath.patch.bz2 mysqlcc-0.8.6a-src.tar.bz2 mysqlcc.spec So you will see the patch was unbzip2'ed.
