If you want to make NO changes, it's very simple:
# rpm --rebuild <filename>.src.rpm
If you need to change something, you first install the .src package with:
# rpm -ivh <filename>.src.rpm
Then you cn change things in the specfile (/usr/src/redhat/SPECS), or in
the code itself (/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES). When you have things ready, you
go to the SPECS directory again, and type this to rebuild a patched
.src.rpm as well as binary .rpm's.
# rpm -ba <specfile>
The created files will be located in the following directories:
/usr/src/redhat/SRPMS - a modified .src.rpm for the package.
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 - one or more binary .rpms for the package.
