Yes, sure, I have
%define rh_release   %(rpm -q --queryformat '%{VERSION}' redhat-release)

Yes, and that's the problem - my question is how do I end up with
1.rh6.2.i386.rpm _and_ 1.src.rpm? I do not want to have the RH release 
number in the name of the source RPM since it gives people a misconception
that it wouldn't build on other versions of RH.
