Src RPMs make relocation much easier; this means I can
have the same package installed on my Sparc machine
(where I'm a normal user) and on my Linux machine (where
I can be root). Src RPMs also make recompilation much
easier; all I need do is 'rpm -ba <specfile>' and wait
for it to finish.
If you've gone to the trouble of making a binary RPM,
then the src RPM comes almost for free.
Any chance I could get one? At least, could I please get
a copy of the RPM spec file?
Thanks much....
