For us, the work is done in
git.fedorahosted.org and we make .tar.bz2
releases of anaconda. The resulting archive and spec file are then checked
in to
pkgs.fedoraproject.org and built using fedpkg. Same basic workflow
from when it was cvs as well.
On this subject, it'd also be good to have an easier method to
maintain packages as unpacked source + patches on top, which get
turned as automatically as possible into spec files. I'm maintaining
a few (RHEL, not Fedora) packages this way, and it sure makes handling
patches easier.
