[CentOS-docs] Create page about rebuilding SRPMS and preparing RPM environment

2008-07-11 Thread Filipe Brandenburger
Hello, As discussed on the centos-users list, I would like to create some pages on the CentOS Wiki with instructions on how to set up your environment to build RPMs and how to rebuild RPMs. This content today exists here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source#head-a8dae925eec15786
