we have the rule that a readme.suse or suse.tar.bz2 should be prefixed with the package name to avoid collisions when installing the src rpm.
that said it is not the smartest idea that many people call their patches "gcc-4.3.diff". please prefix your patches atleast with the package name. I think this rule should either be dropped or enforced. I disagree about the usefulness of this rule in general.
so it is not useful to install multiple src rpms conflict free at the same time?
That's much easier to achieve with a reasonable rpm config. Eg. echo "%_topdir $HOME/packages" >>~/.rpmmacros echo "%_sourcedir %_topdir/SOURCES/%name" >>~/.rpmmacros mkdir ~/packages/{SPECS,SOURCES,RPMS,SRPMS} would be a good starting point.
