That would be repackaging, not packaging. And furthermore, I am talking about software maintained by MeeGo; for which there should be no patches but only releases. And source tarballs are handier than extracting them from srpms. If gitorious provides a scannable index of all tags and the tarballs it creates for them; and if those tarballs always remain byte-identical, I have no problem with it (this seems to be the case on git.moblin.org, BTW). -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
