It is a pita to have to install a src.rpm just to rebuild it. Other > than that it works great for me. rpmbuild --rebuild works fine here (just tried it using rawhide ed-0.2-35.i386.rpm), under FC2 with MH's ~/rpmbuild structure & macros. But even if it didn't work for me, personally I don't find it a pita to do rpm -i foo-1.0-1.src.rpm cd ~/rpmbuild/foo-1.0 rpmbuild -ba foo.spec compared to rpmbuild --rebuild foo-1.0-1.src.rpm Pretty minor extra typing in my typical workday. :) David
