I've got a centos 4.4 box and i'd like to make some rpms for it. My first task is to recompile an srpm removing some options to customize it. I tried rpmbuild, which worked on a fedora install, but that command wasn't available. What rpm do i have to install to make rpms? I've got rpmdb, rpm, and rpm-libs already installed. I thought the missing one was rpm-utils, but no go.
$ yum provides /usr/bin/rpmbuild rpm-build.i386 4.3.3-18_nonptl base Matched from: /usr/bin/rpmbuild
See http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/YumAndRPM "Get set up for rebuilding packages while not being root". I like Method B.
