My wife appreciates the sentiment :-). As it stands now, better

Everything necessary to do the build and maintain the package is in the
source RPM as it stands now -- evidenced by the Linux distributors being
able to take our source RPM, massage it to fit their particular system,
and run with it. And I have a scad of history available in specfile
form....

Not counting the JDBC jars, it's a hundred K or so uncompressed. The
spec file is around 30k -- a small amount of code.
