better, someone has written a makerpm.pl script which will build a .spec
file for an RPM, from which you can build .src.rpm or .i386.rpm files...
there is a version out there that works with rpm4, I won't post the it
here in the hopes that someone who is maintaining a version _will_ speak
up... basically it comes down to:
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES> ./makerpm.pl --spec --source tarball.1.1.tgz
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES> cd ../SPECS
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS> rpm -ba tarball-1.1.spec
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS> rpm -i ../RPMS/i386/perl-tarball-1.1.rpm
I've typed the above from memory and may have botched filenames/syntaxes
etc... search the list for similar and probably better examples..
