hello all,

i just checked in an RPM spec file (under etc/) to facilitate building 
Red Hat RPM packages (binary and source).  if any one is interested in 
having a go at improving, and/or adapting this file here is how i used 
it to generate a binary and a source RPMs for Red Hat 9.

1.  create a work directory for building gnu-crypto.  i use "work'
    where i build both the gcj-friendly and the non-gcj-friendly
    versions.
2.  under 'work' create a new directory 'gnu-crypto-2.0.0' i.e.
    the ${name}-${version} of the release.
3.  cd to this directory and invoke the 'init.sh' script found in
    the directoty 'gcj' under gnu-crypto toplevel directory (your
    CVS update directory).
4.  cd .. (to 'work') and tar.bz2 the 'gnu-crypto-2.0.0' directory.
    you should end up with 'gnu-crypto-2.0.0.tar.bz2' file there.
5.  copy this tar.bz2 file to '/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES'
6.  copy the spec file 'gnu-crypto-2.0.0-1-rh.spec' (in etc/ under
    gnu-crypto toplevel directory), to '/usr/src/redhat/SPECS'
7.  open a root console, or become root.
8.  make sure you have GCC/GCJ 3.4 available on your PATH.  also,
    make sure you have the 'rpm-build' package installed;  do

       $ rpm -qa rpm-build

    to check.
9.  cd to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS.
10. run the following command:

       $ rpmbuild -ba --clean gnu-crypto-2.0.0-1-rh.spec

11. if everything concludes normally, you should end up with
    * no new directory(ies) under /usr/src/redhat/BUILD,
    * two binary rpms under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386, named
      gnu-crypto-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm and
      gnu-crypto-debuginfo-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm,
    * one gnu-crypto-2.0.0-1.src.rpm under /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS.


cheers;
