The best idea probably is to use rpm2cpio => extract to the current
directory.

IIRC, the SRPM must contain a orig.tar.gz, a 'spec' file (I understand is something encompassing our 'control' and 'rules' files) and, optionally, some patches.

Oh, of course you could always mail the RH maintainer. I packaged eggcups and although the RH site only has SRPMS, the maintainer has a collection of source tarballs on his personal web site.

Build as per normal from there. If I'm way off the bat (I'm certainly no RPM expert) I'm happy to be slapped about with a dead fish. - Matt

I think you should be able to extract that using rpm. There is rpm in Debian.

Note that most of the admin tools have some serious deps... I started to port their X configuration tools, which requires RH python-x binding, which requires the Red Hat Python library, which doesn't build on Debian very well. I started but never finished porting this tool, but I should try again when the python2.2->2.3 transition is over.

Packaging some Redhat admin tools
Hello at work, I have played a little bit with a Redhat 9. There are lots of nice system setup tools that could be useful for Debian users. These tools are GPL. The problems are: - no source tar.gz / tar.bz2 distribution (AFAIK), - no Redhat anonymous CVS access (AFAIK), - only SRPM distribution. So, I wonder if someone has already built a package from a SRPM package ?
