Although building your own packages is ‘quite' easy, you need to create a spec file \
and maybe rename your source dir. Getting someones src rpm is a good intro but I \
find, in general, the spec files included are gravely complicated. They need not be. \
There are a number of rpm building tutorials. For me I do not bother building rpm for \
mythtv (although I do for other packages), a simple make install does all. James
