I found a src.rpm for 1.1.5-1 for fc8 (not rh8!). I was able to rebuild it on my Centos build system.
The rpms are identified as 1.1.5-1.i386.rpm, no el5 or other identification was placed in the files. I don't see how to control this when you rebuild from an existing src.rpm. Interestingly the fc8 designation was lost.
I also rebuild it on my fc10 system. It worked, and the rpms have fc10 in their names.
Don't know how well they will work. I will be trying them over the next couple weeks. If anyone wants a copy, let me know....
Look inside the .spec file. The Release line should contain a dist tag as follows:
Release: 1%{?dist}
The "1" will vary of course.
Then, when you build, just define the dist flag to be what you like:
% rpmbuild --define 'dist .el5' <whatever>.spec
OK. I am almost getting it.
I did a: rpmbuild --rebuild miredo.1.1.5-1.fc8.src.rpm
In otherwords, I did not even bother to open up the src rpm. I hope that won't cause too much of an issue with what was built on Centos!
So do I then do:
rpmbuild --define 'dist .el5' --rebuild miredo.1.1.5-1.fc8.src.rpm
