Better to put these in your home directory. Install the rpm-build and rpmdevtools packages, then run these commands as a regular user: rpmdev-setuptree # creates ~/rpmbuild tree rpm -i bash*src*rpm # installs SRPM into above tree The bash.spec file will end up in ~/rpmbuild/SPECS and the sources in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES. Then you can edit the spec as you see fit, and build as a regular user with: rpmbuild -ba nameofpackage.spec Alternately, if you have a srpm that you want to build without any changes, "rpmbuild --rebuild whatever.src.rpm" will do it. -Chris -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
