Is their a preferred site for obtaining the latest release of Quagga?
Should I download the source tarball and simply compile it using configure, make, and make install?
You could, but you will be on your own. You also have to install a compiler and all other -devel packages that you need for building it on each system where you install it. And you will need how to configure. And you would have no package management for it.
Should I create an SRPM and then RPM from the source tarball? If so, where do I start?
I like www.rpmseek.com for packages that fit SuSE (and freshmeat.net appears better for Red Hat). I typically would take the src.rpm that was used for the i386 version and build my s390.rpm package (once, on a system that does have all -devel packages that I need). However, at http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/quagga.html?hl=com&cs=quagga:PN:0:0:0:0 I also see s390.rpm packages, so I think I might even have tried that.
