Could you please elucidate why the command that people have used for nearly
30 years and is the most documented on how to build rpms is broken? And how
people should use instead when they may be dealing with an environment
which doesn't allow fedpkg to work? [AKA I am working on a package which I
want to submit for review so I need to build a @$@$% src RPM somehow and I
am being told I can't use the built in command to do so]

I wonder whether we should start recommending "rpkg" instead of plain
"rpmbuild" for the initial/non-dist-git work on rpms ... I am finding it
quite useful/powerful.

Perhaps we have other places that still recommend rpmbuild for this, but at least our "GNU Hello" packaging tutorial [1] currently uses fedpkg for this.

The instructions given in the tutorial do work. Unlike Stephen implies, fedpkg can be used outside of Git repository for this and other tasks.

This Change will make that tutorial use also rpmautospec. I have a pull request ready for that [2].
