I just wanted to find out if this is possible? I want to download the
latest source code for mailman, compile it, and then turn it into an

Its feasible but you have a reasonably steep learning curve ahead of you building your own RPMs from scratch.


A good starting point might be to install a Mailman source RPM from your distribution of choice and look at its .spec file. Then change that to meet your needs. If those statements make no sense to you then take a look at:
