The files in the tarball are created with too tight a umask; that has
been fixed for the next RC.
The `spec.txt` and `filter.txt` in the tarball are empty. I missed
that, so I'll chase down why this error didn't abort the release
process, and fix the root cause too.
Tentatively thinking of an RC2 on Thursday, unless something less
cosmetic comes up in the mean-time.
