Don't think so. The spec files are part of the srpm generally, so
you'd need to grab that, install the srpm and grab the spec from
your "~/rpmbuild/SPECS" directory.
Thanks, Rick! I would think so too but here it says that there is a way
out:
from
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/how-to-extract-spe...
rpm --scripts -qp my-great-app-1.1.2.rpm
My question therefore is: is it possible to achieve this without
downloading the rpm for my-great-app (of course, assuming the same is
in the Fedora repos).
Sorry I should have been clearer in my first message.
Many thanks,
Ranjan
