[WBEL-users] editing and src rpm

[Will Senn]

Dominic,

The 'right' way:
http://freshrpms.net/docs/fight

my quick and dirty approach has been:
#install the source
rpm -ivh whateverSRPM.src.rpm

#unpack it to the BUILD directory
rpmbuild -bp SPECS/whatever.spec

#edit and change
vi whatever.c

#rebuild it from SPEC
rpmbuild -ba whatever.spec

#create an optimized RPM from SRPMS
rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686 whatever-version.src.rpm

Later,

Will
