Yes I do. I made and distributed src.rpm. But it doesn't include db's
source code. This src.rpm include only *.patch and .spec file(It is
called 'nosrc.rpm').

Why? Why do you create /etc/passwd and /etc/group in post-install
script? I afraid of upgrade of rpm packages. If you do 'rpm -Uvh rpm-package.rpm',
/etc/passwd and /etc/group is overwritten by post-install script.
