This is a big of a quandary, the build and packaging is part of our source, so
either we...

1. Release the source with the RPM packaging not working, then modify it to pass
RPM compliance requirements, resulting in the released source and the RPM valid
source being out of sync. Not nice, especially as to fit all the RPM
requirements it seems will result in changes to the build system, i.e.
significant changes from the released source.

or

2. Don't release the source until the RPM compliance is met, resulting in the
RPM version being in release step with the non-RPM version, which is much more
preferable from a management point of view. But the reviewer has stated that
they are not prepared to review RPM compliance until the source is released.

Chicken and egg. It seems that this policy makes it very difficult to release in
a clean and manageable way if your release platforms include FC RPM.

Any suggestions welcome.
