 ==== How to check from which .spec file was package X built? ====
-First of all, one should check whether there exists a spec file named just like the package. If not, the name of the spec file can be found in the output of one of these commands:
-<file>rpm -q --changelog package package2 | grep '$Log'
-# for already installed packages
-rpm -q --changelog -p package.rpm package2.rpm | grep '$Log'
-# for packages available as files
-</file>
-One can also use a more sophisticated command (just like before, adding a "''-p''" switch after the "''--changelog''" command and giving full file names allows one to query packages from disk):
-<file>rpm -q --changelog package package2 | awk '/^\$Log:/ {spec=$2;gsub(",v$","",spec);print spec}'
-</file>
+''rpm -qi package'' command  will show various information about the package, including the source RPM name. You can check the
+source RPM name also with ''%%rpm -q --queryformat '%{sourcerpm}\n' package%%''. The base name of the source RPM (with version and the '.src.rpm' suffix stipped) is also the name for the GIT repository and the spec file.
