SRPM's and determining spec file

[Steve G]

Not really. This is configurable. Create a .rpmmacros file in the build acct's
home directory. Add these:

%_sourcedir     %{_topdir}/%{name}                                               
                               
%_specdir       %{_sourcedir}

This way all source and spec files wind up in a sane place after rpm -i. This
makes the find command work much better. ;)
