While you're waiting, it's easy to make your own from the source tarball, since the tarball includes an RPM specification. 1. If you've never constructed an RPM before, you should first create a file called .rpmmacros, which contains a directive setting your topdir to a directory your non-privileged account can write to: echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpmbuild" >$HOME/.rpmmacros 2. Create the directory structure needed for RPMS: (assuming you're in your home directory and used the _topdir above) mkdir -p rpmbuild/BUILD rpmbuild/RPMS rpmbuild/SOURCES rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild/SRPMS 3. Extract the source tarball in your home directory (or at least extract cvs.spec) 4. Copy the (compressed) source tarball into rpmbuild/SOURCES 5. issue the rpmbuild command: rpmbuild -ba cvs-1.11.11/cvs.spec This will place an SRPM in $HOME/rpmbuild/SRPMS and 3 ready-to-install RPMs in $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/your-architecture.
