Extract it from the> tarball manually, and edit it. Ok, not being familiar with specfiles, what do I need to do to it? Based on the courier specfile, it looks like I could just add this line to enable xflags: %configure %{?xflags: %{xflags}} Will this work, or do I need to do something else? And is there an easier way to specify configure options during an rpmbuild?Sorry to reply to myself, but I have one other question. Once I get the authlib rpms built with the correct options, do I need to rebuild the Courier-0.56 rpms as well?
Yes -- in this specific case, where you're changing the userid and groupid, the Courier RPMs must also be rebuilt. You will also need to do a clean install. Do not do a straightforward upgrade. Remove the old packages, and manually clean up all the leftovers -- you'll still have leftover changed configuration files in the etc directory, and stuff in the mail spool directory. Since the userid/groupid has changed you will need to remove everything, and do a clean install.
