Thanks, Rick! I would think so too but here it says that there is a way
out:

from
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/how-to-extract-spec-file-from-rpm-file-426847/


rpm --scripts -qp my-great-app-1.1.2.rpm

My question therefore is: is it possible to achieve this without
downloading the rpm for my-great-app (of course, assuming the same is
in the Fedora repos).

Sorry I should have been clearer in my first message.

Many thanks,
Ranjan
