I talked to Phil about this just the other day. And, btw, I don't think either of us thought of this particular failure mode. It turns out that we need to unpack the SRPM during the import process, to give you the ability to select what files are actually imported. We've talked about a few different ways to change SRPM importing to make this step unnecessary. One idea is to just always import everything. Another idea is to migrate the RPM plugin toward making it easier to do more RPM-editing steps, so for instance instead of choosing what files to import, you would choose what patches to apply. No real decision has been made yet. The RPM plugin is still in its early days. Input is definitely welcome. Tom
