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?
traditionally, .spec files sometimes mentioned things like 'BlahBlah tool for Red Hat Enterprise Linux' , and we need to change those to say 'for CentOS Linux'
typically, found in the %description section, but could be in other places.
Also, stuff like httpd has Vendor setup in the .spec file, we need to change that to CentOS as well ( but I am struggling to think of a second example off the top of my head, so might just be a case of do it manually once, and forget about it ).
