Solution #2

Remi and I package many PHP libraries this way.  For example:



# php-aws-sdk3

Spec: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/php-aws-sdk3/blob/master/f/php-aws-sdk3.spec#_65

Get source script: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/php-aws-sdk3/blob/master/f/php-aws-sdk3-get-source.sh



# php-zendframework-zend-stdlib

Spec: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/php-zendframework-zend-stdlib/blob/master/f/php-zendframework-zend-stdlib.spec#_30

Get source script: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/php-zendframework-zend-stdlib/blob/master/f/makesrc.sh

Solution 2.

There's a bash script used by Nodejs packager to fetch tests that are rarely
provided in the app archive. You could probably adapt directly it to your
usecase. Don't forget to add the script as a Source in your SPEC.

I'm attaching it to this message.
