Using rpmbuild you may not notice needed dependencies or might pick up unwanted deps. Plus, using mock you can create packages for different versions of Fedora and RHEL/CentOS. If you need to build a lot of packages, you could look into using koji, which helps coordinate mock builders and can create srpms to feed mock from various version control systems. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts. --Henry Brooks Adams
