Comment (by ncohen):
Hellooooooo,
> You advised (see #16711 about upgrade to 3.1.1) adding this file to
document the renaming of the tarball (from R-x-y-z.tar.gz to
r-x-y-z.tar.gz), needed by the then-current convention of all-lowercase
tarball names.
A `spkg-src` file to document a renaming? Why? `O_o`
> Do you advise keeping a no-op {{{spkg-src}}} ?
No. I advise to keep a file that re-builds the archive from network
ressources only. Then it becomes easier to check that the archive's
content is what it should be. I do not see anything wrong with a script
that downloads a distant file (whose url is generated from the locally
stored version number), and does nothing else to it if there is nothing
else to do.
Actually, I will try to solve this once and for all. I'll write some 'sage
--sanity-check-package whatever' that uses whatever's spkg-src script (if
any), and checks whether the content of the file in `upstream/` matches
it.
This way, checking that the archive is legit will only be a call to
'sanity-check'. In this setting, your spkg-src, even though it just
downloads something, will be useful.
