seeing that RHEL doesn't support anything below i586, and targets =20
packages for i686, I would have just used that target.

Second, one should now have to build out those directories. The =20
rpm-build package handles that for you.

Finally, you can edit the .spec file to change organization, distro, =20
etc. before building...

<excerpt> This has been an interesting exercise for me.=A0 I believe
that I have successfully

 built the RPMS for the openssl patch. I've installed the updated rpms
on my test

 server, and ssl seems to be functioning just fine.=A0=A0 The only
difference is that=20

 when I go into webmin and look at the package, the vendor displayed
is:

 "(none)"=A0 rather than "whiteboxlinux.org".=A0 For those who are
intested I'll outline=20

 how I went about building the rpms (for those who know more than I do
on

 the list, I welcome feedback as this is the first time I've done
this).


 1. entered the following commands (I found them on a web site some
where):


 =A0=A0 mkdir -p --verbose ~/rpms/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}

 =A0=A0 mkdir -p --verbose ~/rpms/RPMS/{i386,noarch}

 =A0=A0 echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpms" > ~/.rpmmacros


 2. Downloaded the updated src.rpm

 =A0=A0=20

 =A0=A0 wget

/updates/enterprise/3AS/en/os/SRPMS/openssl-0.9.7a-33.4.src.rpm</color>


 3. Installed openssl-0.9.7a-33.4.src.rpm using the following command:


 =A0=A0 rpm -i openssl-0.9.7a-33.4.src.rpm


 4. navigated to ~/rpms/SPECS/ and then issue the following commands:


 =A0=A0 rpmbuild -ba --target i386 openssl.spec

 =A0=A0 rpmbuild -ba --target i486 openssl.spec

 =A0=A0 rpmbuild -ba --target i586 openssl.spec

 =A0=A0 rpmbuild -ba --target i686 openssl.spec

 =A0=A0 rpmbuild -ba --target athlon openssl.spec


 =A0=A0 The files are put in the respective directories under =
~/rpms/RPMS/


 Again, please let me know if you see anything that I should have done
differently.


 If anyone is interested, I can make the files available (I'm just
finishing the i586 rpm now).
