What I usually do is to have a *.spec.in file, and have my release 
script generate the *.spec file.  I usually have a "version" file 
checked into the SCM from which all version information derives, 
including what to put in the *.spec file as well as what to name the 
subdirectory.

The release script then ends up being some variant on:

#!/bin/sh -xe
PACKAGE=pkgname
VERSION=`cat version`
scm-of-choice tag --force $PACKAGE-$VERSION
mkdir /var/tmp/$PACKAGE-$VERSION
cd /var/tmp/$PACKAGE-$VERSION
scm-of-choice export -r $PACKAGE-$VERSION
make release
cd ..
tar cvvfz $PACKAGE-$VERSION.tar.gz $PACKAGE-$VERSION
rm -rf $PACKAGE-$VERSION

... where "make release" creates the specfile and anything else that 
needs to be created (like autoconf files.)
