A useful tool indeed. By a quick look at the script it searches all files within an SRPM. Should this tool now not be tweaked to ignore/exclude files with historical data that should never be removed that would certainly flag up in a search i.e. '.spec. files? Feature request. :-)
Actually, it does an 'rpm -i' on the srpm and then searches the SOURCES folder (this is all done in a separate rpmbuild/_topdir folder per SRPM). Because the .spec file is saved in the SPECS folder, the tool doesn't search it.
But I think there are cases where also the .spec file would need to be changed?
