I don't, but I found I was extracting quite a few to study them. So I
wrote a shell function to make it easier. You should be able to extract
them all pretty quickly with this and a shell 'for' loop. Adjust the
path to your liking or remove it altogether.
getspec () {
rpm2cpio $1 | (cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS ; cpio -div '*.spec')
}
Here's a couple more you might find useful:
getsrc () {
rpm2cpio $1 | (cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES ; cpio -div '*.tar.gz')
}
getpatches () {
rpm2cpio $1 | (cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES ; cpio -div '*.patch')
}
