why is building hard? you do first rpmbuild, and alter you handle only 
%files
thus:


$ ./repackage.sh textlive.spec
will invoke %install and produce .rpm files

and after that if you do not need to modify $RPM_BUILD_ROOT, you can 
just invoke:
$ ./repackage.sh textlive.spec -bb
this will not invoke %install again, just will produce .rpm packages

(repackage.sh is just frontend to rpmbuild --short-circuit)
