I think so, but read on.
Ok, at the moment
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1062328
forces rpm to be installed anyways...and I think for now I just won't
try to support making trees without rpm inside them.
The latter is preferred, but I think the former would be sufficient if
it is technically infeasible.
Ok. It's *feasible* I'd say, but just a lot nicer to not have to worry
about SRPMs explicitly. They made sense as a source format *before*
revision control...
Let's focus on this question then of SRPMs versus pkg git.
It seems to me that if koji retains the metadata that one can see here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6448116
which ties a particular built ENVR -> pkg git commit, that is enough to
act as a source link. I just need to be sure that metadata is retained
over the long term.
But at this point this is probably more of a discussion to have with
the Koji side of things then.
