yeah, in fact if you aren't building the brands you only need to check
out http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/publican/trunk/publican

META.yml gets created during the build process. It's unique to a distro
version so I don't store it in the repo.

The publican-website is actually in the main source, it's just separated
during the RPM creation.

Note that this second RPM will probably disappear soon as I've come to
the conclusion that a single package is fine, I just need to tweak how
the default stuff is setup.

It's all well on topic :)
