I read MaxRPM once before, so just going over the build part again. I want to be able to build my own Linux/Centos RPM's, and then post them on my website. May even make a 3rd party repo. I obviously know the ./configure, make, make install and autoconf and automake stuff, so doing RPM's and a repo should not be that difficult to work out.
