Greetings
When you do a "rpm --rebuild" on a xx.src.rpm, do you get a finished rpm
package in one of the folders named for your architecture, i.e.
"/usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686/"? After I ran the "rpm --rebuild" on a src rpm, all
of the files contained within the the src package went into the
"/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/" folder (some into folders SOURCES and SPECS too). I
would have then needed to run a "./configure" and "make" to get the package
to install.
This process seemed like I was doing a "standard" compile and install on a
tar ball src package. I did not do it because I did not want to by pass the
RPM database. Because I did not get a binary RPM as a result of my "rpm
--rebuild" command, can I assume it did not work correctly?
Still working on bind 9 for LMDK7.2, and I will not give up the ghost :-)
I do appreciate all the help rendered thus far......
Thanks,
