If you to the man pages, you will see that "rpm -q --specfile" is
not used to extract a spec.file but to query a spec file as if it
was a rpm
rpm -q --specfile foo.spec
One way to extract the spec file is to install the source rpm and
grab it /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and then delete the SOURCE package
and pacthes located in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCE and
/usr/src/redhat/SRPMS. This the long way. This is how I do it.
Of course an option to extract the specfile would be great.
Cheers,
Dominic.
