That sounds very nice. Is there a place to discuss this approach? I assume you still generate a flattened source tarball and inject that into the RPM spec file? I do wonder if it would be preferably to write the source RPM directly (from a plain working tree, without history), with non-flattened paths, and archive that in Koji for reproducibility.
