If you have Midnight commander (mc) installed, you can navigate a RPM as if it were a folder. Type mc on the command line, and navigate to the folder where the RPM file is stored. When you click on the RPM file, it will open up like a folder. You will find a folder named "INFO", enter into it. There will be files named like "BUILDHOST", "GROUP" etc. These correspond to the arious sections of the spec file. For example, to view the "BUILDHOST" section, position your cursor over the file named "BUILDHOST", and press "F3". That will show you the contents of the file. Press "F10" to exit.
