When building your own custom rpms it is best to do
them
"properly". 6 months down the road you may have made
forgotten
what you did.
For example the SRPM for Fedora for samba from
samba.org :-
$ rpm -q --changelog samba
the changes are in cvs
Pretty useful that is when you are trying to discover
the
patches/bugs that were fixed? You get the drift.
Or for example reading about the sendmail exploit and
wanting
to see if you are covered :-
$ rpm -q --changelog sendmail | grep CVE
zilch
