I think you mean:

pull from VCS -> date versioned tarball -> postioned to:
 	~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
spec file generation -> rpmbuild -ba specfile

yielding:

I just pushed an update of just such a script which works 
against a project at SourceForge (I see I have some rot 
against upstream's tests which I need to look into)

see:

ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/mirror/ORC/ta-lib/README

which does this:

[herrold at centos-5 ta-lib]$ co -l README
RCS/README,v  -->  README
revision 1.3 (locked)
done
[herrold at centos-5 ta-lib]$ sudo scp README \
