I wanted to upgrade some packages on my system and decided to downloaded source
RPMs. Looking at the RPM MAN page, I thought that rpm --recompile would
compile and install the package. I tried it, it recompiled but a rpm -q showed
that the older package was still installed. I did a rpm --rebuild, generated a
binary rpm, and the did a rpm --Uvh and successfully upgraded. What is the
proper procedure for working with a SRPM?
