The standard way of:

# make dist
# rpmbuild -tb <tarball>

is common to most of packages within rpm environment, and allow you to "test new features from source".

no need to re-invent the wheel, or hide the standard sequence from developers, knowing that will enable them to feel comfortable in other environments/packages as well.

in the old days, the tabrall did not contain the spec file correctly, so using the standard sequence was impossible.

can you please try this sequence?

thanks,
