First, find the .spec file: $ cd the/source/trees/root $ find . -name \*.spec -print Then see if there is a top-level 'make' rule for building RPMs: $ grep -l spec *akefile $ less the-file-you-found-if-you-did-in-fact-find-one Likely you'll find that you can say something like 'make rpm' to build the RPM. If not, try something like: # cp the-spec-file.spec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS # cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS # rpmbuild -bb the-spec-file.spec Once you've figured out how to build the RPM, you can edit the spec file and rebuild the RPM. Right up at the top, you'll find the version number stuff. You want to change the "Release:" line. It's typically an integer, and you just increase it by 1 each time you make a new RPM with the same "Version:" line. When the version number changes, the release number gets reset to 1. A higher release number is all it takes to make rpm not complain when trying to replace an existing package with a new one with the same version number.
