The rpmforge repo is independent (but much loved) from Centos. It has its own rules and mailing lists. http://lists.rpmforge.net/ To get started you need a small toolset called rpmdevtools (found at Epel). (usage): To make a buildroot in your home folder, rpmdev-setuptree Create RPM build tree within user's home directory The bible for building rpm packages was written by Ed Bailey http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ Fedora has stellar docs for rpm building, compatible with Centos https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines To modify an SRPM, you need to extract the source to your buildroot first. If you want to change default values in a config file, then rebuild the rpm, you can use rpmbuild. -- Mark _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
