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
Actually I had a brain fart. What I was thinking of was rpmbuild -ta tarball.
I agree --rebuild works just fine.
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. :)
True but if a feature is there I would like to be able to use it. I will
take anything I can to save time. That way I can spend more time putting out
other fires. :-)
