Oh, actually, I wonder if with the latest version you can't just upload the
sources in one place and the spec file from a git in another place.
In which case you could do this from ubuntu.

I haven't played with this feature though, so I'll do some testing and report
here.

We can easily make two projects: daily and stable (maybe use subsurface for
stable and subsurface-daily for... daily :))

Looking at the logs of the build:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/libgit2/0.23.0/1.fc23/data/logs/x86_64/
root.log mentions libcurl but not the -devel
and in build.log there is:
-- checking for module 'libcurl'
--   package 'libcurl' not found

So I guess a bug report is in order :)
