I have renamed the rpm-retrieve.pl script to spectool and put it up on:

The biggest change is, it understands --help now and is version 1.0.
For those who missed the great "why macros in Source fields are evil/bring world peace" thread on fedora-devel-list, this tool expands macros source/patch directives and either lists them or directly retrieves the files.
I would like to point people to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6346 that I filed a long time ago asking for rpm (rpmbuild now) to be able to download missing source packages. I still think that this is the right solution.
Do people agree? Should that bug be reopened (it's CLOSED WONTFIX right now)?
