In the tarball, there is a comps-redhat.spec file for building the rpm.
No, I can't find one in the tar.gz available via the above mentioned
page.
Oops. You are right. The comps-redhat.spec file is in the comps
src.rpm package (comps-9-0.20030313.src.rpm for Red Hat 9).
Yes, of course. Don't know why I didn't look for that right away. I
guess I kind of imagined that the src.rpm would not be available on the
normal location, since comps.rpms isn't in the usual RPMS directory...
And I wanted to know if there was anything else special with this rpm,
of course...
I've now made the following modification for my local setup (they are
not strictly necessary, but make life easier):
--- comps-redhat.spec 2003/11/07 08:24:53 1.1

And successfully built comps.rpm for (modified) Red Hat 9 via
rpmbuild -bb --define 'compsversion 9' comps-redhat.spec
