rpmbuild --rebuild works ... , but if you have 64 bits you might have to build for i686 also which is not easy with rpmbuild, so for this reason and others, I prefer use mock: mock -r fedora-18-x86_64-rpmfusion_nonfree --rebuild src.rpm and mock -r fedora-18-i386-rpmfusion_nonfree --rebuild src.rpm you need install mock and configure it http://www.serjux.com/alps/how_to_use_mock.txt and also install from rpmfusion mock-rpmfusion-free-19.0-1.fc18.noarch mock-rpmfusion-nonfree-19.0-1.fc18.noarch to have mock config files for fedora-18-x86_64-rpmfusion_nonfree.
