Issue
is there any way to use my own spec file when using setuptools and setup.py to create a RPM? I would like to find a way to install the scripts in my setup.py directory to /etc/init.d instead of the usual place that they are installed by RPM. I can't seem to find a command to let me use a custom spec file instead of the one setup.py generates.
Solution
There is no way to specify a custom .spec file when building a SRPM with setuptools. Either create a source tarball and build the SRPM using the custom .spec, or create a source package, extract it, modify the .spec file, and rebuild it.
