I think the point is more that rpm --rebuild is calling rpmbuild to do the work. Because if this, if you do not have the rpm-build (10.1) or rpmbuild (old name) package installed, it will not work. Also, from what the man page says, it may not work in future releases of RPM. So it would be better to bet used to using "rpmbuild --rebuild" in place of
That was mostly for my own curiousity, specially since Greg an Mikkel have some misgiving about usin 'rpm --rebuild'
All I can say is "Works for Me" an always has
"rpm --rebuild". For people just starting to build RPMs, it would definitly be better to get them started using rpmbuild for building RPMs.
