So, would someone please refresh me on this.
I need to rebuild a .src.rpm
Used to be trivial:  rpm --rebuild <name>.src.rpm

It's now: rpmbuild -bb <name>.src.rpm

You'll need the rpm-build rpm installed first.

But some kind person(s) decided that must have been to easy, and it doesn't work any more. How is it done now? (yes, I'm cranky about this. It worked fine, why was it messed with?)..

FWIW, this has been the official way to build rpms since RH 7 .

I've been away for a while. Was working with a different distro. They've taken a turn I don't like. I'm back.

PS: Also, IIRC you could still rpm --rebuild in 7.x
Anyway, thanks all for the info. I'll retrain my fingers.
