However, it did beg the answer, "Yes."

_I_ would install the relevant source rpm, run "rpmbuild -bp" and then 
inspect the source.

Before changing it, I would copy it so as to be able to prepare a patch 
using "diff -ur" and I'd update the spec file to apply the patch.

This works for pretty much any rpm.
