I always use it when I compile something from source.
Except in this case, the OP doesn't have to start from "plain" source, he already has a source RPM. Using your method, he'll wind up with an RPM that will have everything in it that are spread across _many_ already-existing RPMs. Almost certainly not what is desired. I've always found it far easier to find a source RPM from either openSUSE or Fedora, and tweak the .spec file followed by "rpmbuild."
