It's cool. Where I'm working these days, I have to be really careful
about software provenance.

I remain confused that the RPM's you publish all have something like
this in their 'rpm -qi' information. Notice that the 'Source RPM' they
lise is not the suse91 SRPM, it's an 'el5' SRPM. I assume this is
because you're doing your builds for RHEL with a tool like 'mock',
that first rebuilds the SRPM you are working from as a new SRPM
precisely to get tags and PGP signatures right, then builds the RPM's
from that.
