It's only a pain because Fedora's infrastructure wasn't designed for it; instead it implements the world's least optimized and most painful revision control system of series-of-tarballs. If the infrastructure supported it directly, that would change the pain equation quite a bit. There is the detail that then you'd have to know how to run autogen.sh, but jhbuild already has that knowledge for a lot of the desktop core stack. Anyways this kind of thing can be incremental; just because infrastructure now supports pulling from git doesn't mean we'd need to have a field day editing .spec files to get everything to use it. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
