/usr/share/doc has MUCH more current information.
At least that is what I found.

Hi,
The "Maximum rpm" document contains only very little information about
rebuilding rpms.
Most rpms are build for the i386 architecture, I run my RH7.3 on an
i686, does it make much sense to rebuild rpms before installing them?
If I understand the manual correctly I would have to do
To those that were following the "rebuild" thread last week:
Just wanted to share with the list that I was able to rebuild most of the
SRPMS for Red Hat 7.3 as optimized for the i686 platform. Took me a few days
to get it done. I skipped a few packages due to previous experience stating
that they

Afternoon:
Does anyone out there have experience rebuilding RPMS? I'm thinking of
recompiling some of the RPMS I have to i586 or i686 status. I've got
gcc-2.95 installed, so I believe I can take advantage of the pentium
optimizations.
My understanding is that there is a config

Morning Everyone:
I've been playing around with rebuilding RPMS for the past 2 weeks. Some
have gone smoothly, with absolutely no warnings, errors, etc. I'm trying
to optimize these and compile them as i686 instead of i386 binaries. The
steps I've done so far are this:

Not related to optimizing. XFree86 uses ExclusiveArch to prevent y

Firstly your manual pages should tell you about how to rebuild SRPMS, so
check them for the flags. Secondly I can't see any sensible reason why
it wouldn't work UNLESS
Ummm ...
Was this an answer to my original question or just a viewpoint on SRPMS?

Evening:
I'm intrigued with rebuilding the SRPMS for Red Hat 6.1 to all i686. Is
this process as straightforward as installing the source rpm, and then
typing:
rebuild -bb --target=i686
or is there other things that need to be done? If the first step can be
done, is it as simple as replaci
I find (S)RPMs quite good but a nuisance as well. Trying to get it to
recompile things like you want them is sometimes not difficult. I await
the day when ALL developers include an uninstall option in their make
files :-)
