Upstream does not provide a tarball for rally via launchpad, so building a rally RPM
doesn't work quite the same as, say, nova.

delorean does not run from those tarballs anyway. It runs from tarballs generated from
git using python setup.py sdist, and those include proper PKG-INFO.
Thanks for explaining that. I see that openstack-nova.spec refers to launchpad for
Source0. So, putting aside delorean for a moment, what would be the upstream source for an
RPM in either RDO release or downstream?
If you want to have it in RDO, you can just build the tarball yourself and publish it
somewhere. Or better, make the project publish correct tarballs on LP or pypi.
On that latter point ('make the project...'), any advice on how to make that
happen?
Thanks!
