I used QuantLib-${VERSION}-src.tar.gz because it is the name of the final
release tar ball. And in QuantLib-${VERSION}.src.rpm, src is just saying this is
the source package against the i386 - binary package.

As for the tar ball name, I do prefer QuantLib-${VERSION}-src.tar.gz as it
emphasize on the fact that it is the tar ball of the source code. I have the
impression that the tar ball without src in the name could be a binary tar ball
without the source code.

So, my vote goes to QuantLib-${VERSION}-src.tar.gz for the source code tar ball.

Thanks.
