Hello,        I'd like to get in to rpm building and am looking for a CentOS specific document if any to get me going? I want to repackage an existing rpm and give it different runtime options so it'll work on a server, and make an rpm at least one probably more, and then submit them to the rpmforge repo.        Googling showed me some old Suse docs on this subject. Any help appreciated.        Thanks. Dave.

Well dave, you can start off by getting the source rpms of the packages you want to modify and when done editing the spec file you can easily use the rpmbuild command to recreate the rpms with your changes. Hope it helps? Cheers!
