I don't think the quotes are needed, although they couldn't hurt. The *spec is a parameter to cpio telling it what files to extract so I don't think having another .spec in your directory will hurt. In fact, I tried it both quoted and unquoted with another spec file in my current directory and the results are the same. Care to share your concern?
