Thanks, I got my spec file now ... :)
And this little note:
Harry Putnam posted here last December (thread: 'Regaining disk space') a
fine little script that I just used to clean up the directory where I just
installed the wget.SRC.RPM:
_____________________________________________________
#!/bin/sh -x
cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES && rm -rf * && \
cd ../BUILD && rm -rf * && cd ../SPECS && rm -f *
#done
---------------------------------------------------

and there:

(Sorry, moongroup was not available for me some minutes ago ... )
Thanks to all helping.
