The easiest thing to do is to include a spec file, and a "make rpm" target. In any case, the "unknown patches" shouldn't be unknown, you *should* get a .orig and a .patch (which should be little more than compile options and a spec file). If there are any more consequential patches than that, your choice is (a) contact the patcher to see why he's making changes, and if there's a good reason then integrate them (b) ignore the patches, and continue to ship just the tarball (c) decide to take over the rpm package building and run the risk of alienating a volunteer packager (if, indeed, it's a volunteer doing the packaging) > More likely than not, in option 2, there would be no patches applied to Qt > and > it would be a stock & pristine build.
