Thats exactly the opposite of what is expected

How so? Given that it actually cleans up after itself you are not left
with multiple .spec files in any directory? Or have I missed something?

Most source rpm packages come with a [packagename.spec] file without a
version.

OK, so the .spec in the tarball should be without (for rpm -ta), and
the one left in %_topdir/SPECS should carry it?

Basically why I made the .spec files carry the version was that I have
several trees (linux-2.4-[ac|plain|clean|mystuff]?and
linux-2.5-[dj|plain|clean]) and that way I can build the trees without
interfering with eachoter, as all the .spec files, tarballs, RPMs and
SRPMs will actually be named something like
kernel-$version-$extraversion. That way, if you build two trees they
wont stamp on eachother.
