Oh, creating the RPM? Thats easy: $ rpm -ivh <file>.src.rpm $ cp freevsd/patches/redhat-rpms/SOURCES /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES $ cp freevsd/patches/redhat-rpms/SPECS/<file>.spec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS $ rpm -ba <file>.spec
Upgrading an RPM, in my experience, has left the inode numbers alone (use -Uvh, not -ivh). Damion.
