I have never done this but I am willing to learn. You'll need plenty of disk space - and more than a few hours time (OO is pretty big). Some instructions are at: (more than what I would do) http://fedoranews.org/tchung/rpmbuild/ http://fedoranews.org/hoyt/rpm/ Quick summary: ## Create a build setup in your home dir. cd ~ cp -a /usr/src/redhat/ rpmbuild echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' >> .rpmmacros echo '%debug_package %{nil}' >> .rpmmacros ## Download the src rpm, and try building: wget ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/SRPMS/openoffice.org-1.1.1-4.src.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild openoffice.org-1.1.1-4.src.rpm ## You'll mostlikely get 'errors of required packages.
