Packaging best practises - WIP - please comment/edit

Where is the .yaml/.spec ?	Where is the source code?
	github.com/nemomobile (nemo is upstream)	Any public git repository (upstream is not nemo)	Not in git (tarball, svn, ...)
under ./rpm/	tar_git	then what?	N/A
github.com/nemomobile-packages	N/A	N/A	git_subtree
under pkg-mer branch	git_pkg	git_pkg	N/A

How to package upstream tarballs (no vcs) for github.com/nemomobile-packages with git subtree

git clone git@github.com:nemomobile-packages/uthash.git

cd uthash

git commit --allow-empty -m "initial commit"
git checkout -B upstream
tar -xvf ../uthash-1.9.4.tar.bz2 --strip-components=1
git add -A
git commit -a -m "import from upstram tarball uthash-1.9.4.tar.bz2"
git tag upstream/1.9.4

# OPTIONALLY use pristine tar to record any delta for later reproducing EXACTLY same tarball
pristine-tar commit ../uthash-1.9.4.tar.bz2

git checkout master
git subtree add --squash --prefix=uthash upstream
mkdir rpm
cp /somewhere/packaging/uthash.spec rpm/
#modify spec to do %setup -q -n %{name}-%{version}/%{name}
git add -A
git commit -a -m "[packaging] add rpm packaging"
git tag nemo/1.9.4
git push --all
gut push --tags
