It should be just `fedpkg srpm` for a Fedora package. Or `rpkg srpm` with rpkg-util tool. spectool could contain native support for preprocessing as well, I will look at opening a PR for it. I think with rpmbuild something like: `rpmbuild --define "%_sourcedir $PWD" -bs file.spec` is needed, right?
