I want to build a binary rpm from a source rpm, without installing the binaries on the system, ie I don't want to risk mucking up my existing installation of the earlier version of same package.
all of the rpm -b options seem to want to build, install, then package.
I want to just build then package,
anyone know how to do this?
my reference for all this is here:
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-rpm-b-command.html
Try something like $rpmbuild --rebuild --target=athlon file.src.rpm and find the result in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/ I had great plans to optimise redhat once :)
