Go there and fetch those sources. It should build without asking any questions 
(it does for me).
Hopefully I didn't forgot any Requires: in the spec file.

I've made a bit of progress towards building the SI RPMs on an RHEL6.2
server, but I didn't make it to the goal yet:

1. I copied the downloaded sources from
/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/initrd_source/src/ to the
permanent place /usr/src/. Strangely, today the correct e2fsprogs can be
downloaded successfully (it was absent yesterday).

2. The next missing download is a kernel source file
http://download.systemimager.org/pub/linux/linux_2.6.34.1.orig.tar.gz.
So I grabbed a similar file from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ and renamed it with the
.orig (probably a no-no!). The kernel.org version seems to build, but I
had to answer a bunch of configure questions.

3. Next failure occurs when building parted-2.3:
...
checking for dm_task_create in -ldevmapper... no
configure: error: libdevmapper could not be found, but is required for the
--enable-device-mapper option, which is enabled by default.  Either disable
device-mapper support with --disable-device-mapper or download and install
device-mapper from:
        http://sources.redhat.com/dm/
FYI, our RHEL6.2 server does have the device-mapper 32- and 64-bit RPMs
installed with /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02.

Question: Am I on the right track, or is there a better way to build the
SI RPMs?

Thanks a lot,
Ole
