Hi all,

I have renamed the rpm-retrieve.pl script to spectool and put it up on:

http://people.redhat.com/nphilipp/spectool

The biggest change is, it understands --help now and is version 1.0.

For those who missed the great "why macros in Source fields are
evil/bring world peace" thread on fedora-devel-list, this tool expands
macros source/patch directives and either lists them or directly
retrieves the files.

--- 8< ---
Usage: spectool <options> <specfile> <what>
<what> can be a list of 'all', 'sources', 'patches', 'source0', 'patch5', etc.
Options:
-d, --define 'macro value'    defines RPM macro 'macro' to be 'value'
-g, --gf, --get-files         gets the sources/patches that are listed
with
                              a URL
-l, --lf, --list-files        lists the expanded sources/patches
