SRPM's are Source RPM files which can be rebuilt for the particular platform
you are on. From the man page:
rpm --rebuild <source_package_file>+
When invoked this way, rpm installs the named source pack
age, and does a prep, compile and install. In addition,
--rebuild builds a new binary package. When the build has
completed, the build directory is removed (as in --clean)
and the the sources and spec file for the package are
removed.
Hope that helps.
