I capture the output of my %post script by doing:
%post
cat > /post-install <<EOF
# script goes here
# must change "$" to "\$" and "`" to "\`" to avoid shell quoting
EOF
/bin/bash -x /post-install < /dev/null 2>&1 | tee /post-install.log
It would be nice if there was a %post option to save the output.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
