automatic source fetching in spec?

[devzero2000]

Depends from the rpm implementation you are using. In the rpm used in
fedora, suse and many other rpm based distro is not implemented
nothing that permit to fetch the upstream tarball , for example to
build always the latest version automatically and without scripting.
In other distro as Mandriva instead this is posible, but i don't think
that this feature is used anyway. I omit the details here.

Sorry for the top posting and best regards.
