I'm looking to build Apache with some of the options turned on. Do I need
to specify --define on the --rebuild of the .src.rpm step, or can I specify
that after the binary RPM has been built? ...or, is it when the binary RPM
is built, there are no options that can be specified?
Also, I saw this message:

'openpkg build' will update packages with the same options that
were used when installing the packages unless you explicitely
override them on the command line (or in the .openpkg/build file).
It is still useful to have the options saved somewhere if you
need to remove a package and then install it from scratch.

...and I'm left wondering how does the .openpkg folder get created and save
these build options? I do not have one, and I've installed many packages
through the process of "rpm --rebuild
ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/SRC/pkg-name.src.rpm"; and then "rpm
-Uvh/Fvh pkg-name.rpm" from the /cw/RPM/PKG folder. I have the openpkg-tool
installed....I really have not seen any good documentation on how to use it
though....and the man page doesn't seem to really help pull it all together.
Thanks,
Frank
