not, of course. But if it is there, you can easily built RPM via rpm -ta
source*tar.gz. Only Source RPMS (aka SRPM) must have .spec file built in.

The same for me. I do hate packagers who just rename my package.tar.gz to
package.orig.tar.gz and built tens of patches into one big .diff.gz which
is crazy to maintain :-)) No flamewars please.
