FPC,

Many packages are using the Github release URL.

IE: github.com/foo/%{name}/archive/v%{version}.tar.gz

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/cbootimage.git/tree/cbootimage.spec
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/git-extras.git/tree/git-extras.spec
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/jacoco.git/tree/jacoco.spec
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libepoxy.git/tree/libepoxy.spec

Some are using a slightly different, but similar, URL.

IE: github.com/foo/%{name}/archive/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/json-c.git/tree/json-c.spec
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/livecd-tools.git/tree/livecd-tools.spec
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python-meh.git/tree/python-meh.spec

The list of packages using these URLs extends beyond these 7 packages.

Can the Github URL wiki text be clarified to either include or exclude the release 
tarball provided by Github?

Thank you,
Michael
