Shouldn't github sources look like this?
Source0:	https://github.com/npm/%{npm_name}/archive/%{commit}/%{npm_name}-%{commit}.tar.gz

I take the reference of this line "If the upstream does create tarballs you should use them as tarballs provide an easier trail for people auditing the packages."
from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL?rd=Packaging/SourceURL#Git_Hosting_Services

The guidelines still use commit in source

Source0:  https://github.com/OWNER/%{name}/archive/%{commit0}.tar.gz#/%{name}-%{shortcommit0}.tar.gz

Alternatively, here are Spot's guidelines:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Spot/GitHub_Guidelines

Can you please interpret meaning for me for this statement "If the upstream does create tarballs you should use them as tarballs provide an easier trail for people auditing the packages." ?

Let me know if there can be any different meaning to it.

Regarding Spot's guidelines, they are not updated since Dec'2012. See https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=User:Spot/GitHub_Guidelines&action=history

Whereas
This is the change from 9th July 2015 which added above tarball usage guideline -> https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Packaging%3ASourceURL&diff=417378&oldid=372006

Looks like its Gbcox who proposed that tarball usage guideline.

I don't mind using github tarballs, it's about using git tags. I guess it's okay since it got approved as a guideline (I must've skipped that part).

Thank you very much. Yes I too used git commit source URL's previously but now I am following this new simple tarball usage guideline.

Btw, I found the exact email thread where this change of guideline is discussed. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/packaging/2015-June/010759.html
