A bit too complicated ;-)

Here's a cleaner way (in sqlgrey.spec):

---- 8< ----
Name:           sqlgrey
Version:        1.8.0_rc1	# _rc1
...
Source0:        sqlgrey-1.8.0-rc1.tar.gz	# original tarball
...
%prep
%setup -n sqlgrey-1.8.0-rc1

%build
make
---- 8< ----

The key line is "%setup -n sqlgrey-1.8.0-rc1" which advises the rpm
builder that the unpacked directory is sqlgrey-1.8.0-rc1 instead of
sqlgrey-1.8.0_rc1 as would have been the default derived from %{version}.

HTH,
