Misc/RPM/README
 
1
This directory contains support file used to build RPM releases of
 
2
Python.  Its contents are maintained by Sean Reifschneider
 
3
<jafo@tummy.com>.

5
It is recommended that RPM builders use the python*.src.rpm file
 
6
downloaded from the "ftp.python.org:/pub/python/<version>/rpms".  These
 
7
may be more up to date than the files included in the base Python
 
8
release tar-file.

10
If you wish to build RPMs from the base Python release tar-file, note
 
11
that you will have to download the
 
12
"doc/<version>/html-<version>.tar.bz2"
 
13
file from python.org and place it into your "SOURCES" directory for
 
14
the build to complete.  This is the same directory that you place the
 
15
Python-2.3.1 release tar-file in.  You can then use the ".spec" file in
 
16
this directory to build RPMs.
