For you -- in particular -- I'll start distributing tar balls again.
The goal is to illustrate the benefits of *.src.rpm's because:
1) there's a non-repudiable signature on the *.src.rpm and
(when I work carefully) a detached signature with verification.
2) there are several components collected with the build recipe
3) the macros used for the build (I only do rpmbuild -bs) are in the
SRPM.
4) there are (rather nominal) build metrics and --short-circuit
"cheater" detection.
I.e. distributing through a *.src.rpm is actually quietly doing WYSIWYG
subliminal advertising of @rpm5.org warez.
But if it gets to be too big a hassle, I'll pop out the tar ball and included
detached signature whenever you wish.
