The way I've done it in the past (this is not something I found reference to anywhere, just something I tried) was to download srpms, and dig the spec files out of them, customize the spec file to my liking and compile my new srpm (with my specific compile time options). This will then give you a new rpm configured the way you like.
Depending on your setup this may or may not be feasible, it can take a little or a lot of work depending on what you're installing. : -----Original Message----- : From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Edward Marczak : Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 1:07 PM : To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Subject: Mixed source and rpm system : : : Hello, List! : : I have a fairly new RH7.2 system up and running.
