If you have the tarball you can trivially generate the source RPM if you need it because the tarball still contains the .spec file. IOW just run

I've never tried this before... what does it do if the .spec file is non-trivial and includes things expanded by autoconf, or if there are multiple different .spec files?
It only works when there is a single .spec file, which is the case with libvirt tarballs. Expansion of macros is largely irrelevant until you get the build stage.
Personally, I have found the libvirt provided spec file limiting - and use a distro one like Fedora as a starting point instead.
Errm, the libvirt.spec inside the tarball *IS* the Fedora distro spec. Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
