Will try. This is my first time building a centos src.rpm from git, so I want to check if my assumptions correct:
- git.centos.org doesn't have source tarballs themselves, so I need to pull them out of RedHat's official src.rpms.
- To access official src.rpms, I need a subscription (free for developers).
