Previously, I've helped out Nick with the Fedora nightly builds, which grab the latest code from git and use git-archive to create the tars.  However, the production Fedora builds want to use tars downloaded from the upstream servers (both launchpad and github in this case).

I've uploaded the source archive for 5.0.0-rc2 to Launchpad.  It is
available here:

https://launchpad.net/kicad/5.0/5.0.0-rc2/+download/kicad-5.0.0-rc2.tar.xz

These should all be available from github without any effort.  You can
use the github web interface to upload the tagged archive (in zip
format) or you can download them directly.  For example, to download the
5.0.0-rc2 symbols, use the following url:

https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols/archive/5.0.0-rc2.zip

Of course you could follow Carsten's excellent suggestion and use the
git archive command.
