Description

No way to tell sdist to include the generated rpm spec file in tarball.
this is usefull when trying to generate the rpm using rpmbuild -tb
(rrpmbuild will use the specfile from tarball to build the package. This is more friendly than extracting the tarball and running python setup.py bdist_rpm; cd ..; \rm -rf )

Research direction

Start by tracing how sdist creates its tarball and how setup.py bdist_rpm generates the spec file. Check whether the sdist archive can include that generated file, then verify the resulting tarball can be passed to rpmbuild -tb and that the spec file is present.
