And just to be clear for people who search the mailing list archives later:

* If the licensing is okay, the source tarball doesn't need to be repacked

* The binaries (for a definition of binaries that includes code/executable
  content but not necessarily data) do need to be removed from the build
  environment in the %prep stage of the rpm build.
