As a feature request, why not change the %name in the spec file to match the name of the
project? The %name in the spec file has a spurious _ in it, which makes this kind of relaly useful
Source line impossible:

Source0: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/%\{name}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

Just a thought. It probably changes the name of the package in the binary RPMs, though, so you'll
have to have OBSELETES or CONFLICTS lines in there.

    Forget that as a FR. It actually blocks the rpm -ta again.

    Um, who tested this, and how much crack had they smoked at the time?
