--- Comment #30 from Matthew Miller <[email protected]> --- > Ask yourself why Fedora's snapshot tarball guidelines have been created? I think, primarily, because we want to deal in upstream artifacts, and a tarball created by the packager instead needs explanation. Particularly in the pre-git days, release tarballs were often only loosely coupled to whatever vcs the upstream used and might go through some undefined transformation, which would mean that packager-generated tarballs might be "off". When the tarball itself comes from upstream, that seems like less of a worry. And, again, how long will _any_ release be available from download from upstream? An upstream project could delete their old major release tarballs monthly; there's nothing really magically different. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
