| If you modify the specfile - use:

Yes, I know that. But when you use 'rpmbuild --rebuild *.src.rpm' you
don't really have access to the *.spec file since it's contained in the
*src.rpm. If you want to edit the *.spec file, wouldn't you have to:

1. install the *.src.rpm
2. edit the *.spec
3. use rpmbuild -ba *

Is there a simpler way? without having to install the sources and still
letting rpmbuild automate the whole process through the --rebuild option?
