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
