That's what RPM is all about. The following is pretty much
it, till you get to studying.
To build a package from a source RPM (src.rpm) file:
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpm -iv <source_file>.src.rpm
That unpacks the source files to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES"
and creates a 'spec' in "/usr/src/redhat/SPECS" . Then do:
rpm -ba <new_package>.spec
That builds the package. Now do:
# rpm -ivU ../RPMS/ppc/<new_package>*.ppc.rpm
That installs the new package.
