There is a .spec file (actually .spec.in) in the tar file.  You would
unpack the tar file:

tar xzvf gnucash-docs-2.0.1.tar.gz

Then edit the .spec.in file

cd gnucash-docs-2.0.1
emacs gnucash-docs.spec.in

<fix the copyright / LICENSE problem -- it will be near the beginning of
the file>

^X^S		(Save the file)
^X^C		(exit emacs)

Then do:

./configure
make dist

This makes a fresh tarball.

mv gnucash-docs-2.0.1.tar.gz ..
cd ..
rm -rf gnucash-docs-2.0.1

Now you should be able to rebuild it:

rpmbuild -tb gnucash-docs-2.0.1.tar.gz
