Hi All,
How do you do a
rpmbuild -ta tar_ball
when the source is not a tar ball and the
directory structure exists on the web?
(The directory is everything that would be
in the tar ball.)

If you mean a github repository with a package that has a workable
".spec" file, you can download a ".zip" file from github.com
<http://github.com>, and rpmbuild deals with those just fine.
If the source is a few files, you can replace the '%setup" scripting
with some simplified ocmmands in a .spec file to copy in and deploy the
relevant components. Or, you can make a git checkout or Subversion
checkout of a particular tag, or referenced revision level, check that
out, put it in a tarball, and build from *THAT*.
Hi Nico,
This is the actual directory.
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/rdesktop/code/rdesktop/trunk/
If I were to wget it and tar it, I could run the
"rpmbuild -ta tar_ball" command on it.
But, for the fun/challenge of it, I wanted to do it
directly from the web. Now I know that you can insert
web addresses into rpmbuild
rpmbuild -ta http://some_tar_bal_on_the_web
But, I wanted to do it directly to a directory tree.

Don't look at the subversion tree, look via the webinterface
http://sourceforge.net/p/rdesktop/code/HEAD/tree/rdesktop/trunk/
Here you have the option to download a zip'd snapshot.
Thank you!
