I was wrong :)

Many of those scripts look for git specific things and will not work in
an rpmbuild area that is not git based .. BUT .. I think, after
reviewing return_disttag.sh it will work there.

Regardless, those would be a good basis for scripts that would work with
yumdownloader if you want to create them.
