It's just that those, who use them, use them inconsequently. They fetch a new source tarball with up-to-date bookmarks and then don't update the URL in the Source field (so why put the URL there beforehand?). And the expanded URL does not make it into the binary rpm and src.rpm either. I will test-drive spectool when I think about it. But it won't stop the "whining" (-> subject), since if I found an out-of-date Source URL, it would need whining to get it fixed. ;) --
