I capture the output of my %post script by doing:

  %post
  cat > /post-install <<EOF
  # script goes here
  # must change "$" to "\$" and "`" to "\`" to avoid shell quoting
  EOF
  /bin/bash -x /post-install < /dev/null 2>&1 | tee /post-install.log

It would be nice if there was a %post option to save the output.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
