As it turns out, I am using GNU tar 1.26. I can accept (and actually already implement) your proposed workaround. However, the fact that https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch11s02s02.html don't really get this to work either seems to indicate that other people are having problems here too. Do you know if the feature works for an up-to-date version of rpmbuild? If so, would it be possible to document more clearly where the spec file needs to reside in the sources?
