All that happens when you install it is that the spec file gets copied
to /usr/src/packages/SPECS and the source tar ball and patches get copied
to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES. You can then "assemble" it with
rpmbuild -bp /usr/src/packages/SPECS/<spec file>
which will unpack the tar ball and apply the patches
in /usr/src/packages/BUILD/<package name>

Hello:
Is it possible to install an src.rpm package similarly to binary or
kernel-src packages in openSUSE?
Or are they only for rebuilding?
