NAME
spectool - manual page for spectool v1.0.10rpmdev1 SYNOPSIS
spectool [<options>] <specfile> DESCRIPTION
Spectool is a tool to expand and download sources and patches from specfiles. If you experience problems with specific specfiles, try to run rpmbuild --nobuild --nodeps <specfile> on the file which might give a clue why spectool fails on a file (ignore anything about missing sources or patches). The plan is to catch errors like this in spectool itself and warn the user about it in the future. OPTIONS
Operating mode: -l, --lf, --list-files lists the expanded sources/patches (default) -g, --gf, --get-files gets the sources/patches that are listed with a URL -h, --help display this help screen Files on which to operate: -A, --all all files, sources and patches (default) -S, --sources all sources -P, --patches all patches -s, --source x[,y[,...]] specified sources -p, --patch a[,b[,...]] specified patches Miscellaneous: -d, --define 'macro value' defines RPM macro 'macro' to be 'value' -C, --directory dir download into specified directory (default '.') -R, --sourcedir download into rpm's %{_sourcedir} -n, --dryrun, --dry-run don't download anything, just show what would be done -f, --force try to unlink and download if target files exist -D, --debug output debug info, don't clean up when done FILES
