BUILD
SOURCES
SPEC
RPMS
SOURCES will hold the tar ball and SPEC holds rpm specification file, which is the main file used for building rpm use this file and feed it to rpmbuild command.
# rpmbuild -ba <spec file>
Also refer to maximum rpm, the ultimate reference about rpms: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/. I bet you will get everything you need to know about rpm here.

I want to -
(1) extract the source tarball available with the rpm package
