Unrelated to the topic at hand, but why do people still use rpmbuild -bs
instead of using a fedpkg mockbuild? You get a clean environment to
build and you don't have to install tons of devel packages on your system.
I think 'rpmbuild -bs' is the quickest way to a source rpm package and
it doesn't require any dependencies to be installed on your system. My
workflow is almost identical to that of James and that first srpm
might get reused multiple times before I get the one from mock.
