Hello Thomas,

Monday, March 04, 2002, 2:58:30 PM, you textually orated:

BTG> Sounds good, but how do you update the release flag?

That may depend on the RPM (well technically it is always the same, but some
people do it differently).

The "standard" way is to simply change the line that looks like this...

Release: 1

But you may find that some people assign variables at the top to make
changes easier. So you may see something like...

%define name    cdrdao
%define version 1.1.5
%define release 2
%define serial  2
%define prefix  /usr

Name:           %{name}
Version:        %{version}
Release:        %{release}
Serial:         %{serial}
Prefix:         %{prefix}

I prefer to use this, but I doubt you'd like to go through them all to
change them. ;) So Just change the "Release:" part or change the "define"
part according to how the original is based.

Here is a good breakdown of a spec file for further reading...

Have fun,
