As I've done with several other RPMs, I did the following;

===
yumdownloader --source mtr-gtk

rpm -Uvh mtr-0.75-5.el6.src.rpm

cd rpmbuild/SPECS/

# Change "Release"

rpmbuild -ba mtr.spec
===

If you're asking a more generic "why are you doing this?" question; I am
including the RPM in a project we're working on and I don't want to risk
running fould of the CentOS project by directly redistributing their
(and RHEL's) rpms.
