OK... I think I just learned something about RPM...

Do I understand Mr. Slooten correctly? By using RPM with a --rebuild
option on a SRC.RPM, you'll create a binary build of the SRC RPM??

Hmmm... At the console, rpm --help doesn't even list --rebuild (of course,
it lists --rebuilddb but that's different). Yet, if I enter rpm --rebuild
(with no package mentioned) I receive the message:

rpmb: no packages files given for rebuild

This seems to imply that the --rebuild option does, indeed exist. 

So... will this create a binary build RPM from a SRC RPM??

Thanks,
Rick
