Git and rpmbuild

• Excellent overview of one workflow on Stack Overflow.

• Mandriva shows how to set up rpm macros to use git during rpmbuild.

• Software project A is kept in git. A depends on unrelated project B, so B is configured as a submodule in A. Unfortunately, A's Makefile assumes B's location in that subdirectory, with no provision for looking for its libraries and header files in the usual locations. Good or whack? @FunnelFiasco: "I concur. It's total bullshit."
