Hey Steve,

I just uploaded a new source archive to launchpad that should resolve
this issue.  All I needed to do was add --prefix=kicad-5.0.0-rc/ to the
git archive command.  The more experienced I become with git, the more I
like it.

Cheers,

Wayne

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).
