It's not hard to do it yourself.
First, find the .spec file:
$ cd the/source/trees/root
$ find . -name \*.spec -print
Then see if there is a top-level 'make' rule for building RPMs:
$ grep -l spec *akefile
$ less the-file-you-found-if-you-did-in-fact-find-one
Likely you'll find that you can say something like 'make rpm' to build
the RPM. If not, try something like:
# cp the-spec-file.spec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild -bb the-spec-file.spec
Once you've figured out how to build the RPM, you can edit the spec file
and rebuild the RPM. Right up at the top, you'll find the version
number stuff. You want to change the "Release:" line. It's typically
an integer, and you just increase it by 1 each time you make a new RPM
with the same "Version:" line. When the version number changes, the
release number gets reset to 1. A higher release number is all it takes
to make rpm not complain when trying to replace an existing package with
a new one with the same version number.
