> Why not build from source? It's really not that difficult. Building from a source RPM IS building from source. The source RPM includes the source tarball, patches needed to customized the system to the distro, and a meta build script that unpacks the tarball, applies the patches, invokes the right make command, and then packages it all up in a format suitable to track the installed files so that updates and removals work properly. It may also include install-time scripts to add a necessary user to run a service as, and to hook the service into the boot and shutdown system. Here's how to set up your build system: <http://www.g-loaded.eu/2006/04/05/how-to-build-rpm-packages-on-fedora/> Grab the source RPM here: <http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/SRPMS/BackupPC-3.3.0-2.el6.src.rpm> Command to turn a source RPM into a binary RPM: rpmbuild --rebuild BackupPC-3.3.0-2.el6.src.rpm (You might need to add some options to that command line. I usually add "--define 'dist kp'" to define dist as "kp" to mark the packages I build. The dist variable gets suffixed to the release number. For official binaries, it has values like "epel".) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Infragistics Professional Build stunning WinForms apps today!
