Right.  We currently keep the JDS and SFE spec files in svn.
To be able to identify the spec used, the minimum requirement
is a pointer to the repo, the name of the spec and the revision.
Probably something similar would work for HG.
The problem with hosting these at a different location from the
packages is that you cannot guarantee consistency.  For example
the sourceforge svn server names changed since SFE started.
The JDS repo was reorganised too.
