= Building RPM Packages =
The Bcfg2 distribution contains two different spec files. 

== Building from a Release Tarball ==
 1. Be sure to check the [wiki:Prereqs Prerequisites] page.
 1. Download the release tarball that you want to base your packages on from the [wiki:Download Downloads] page.
 1. Run `rpmbuild -ta <name of tarball here>`.
 1. On CentOS/RHEL, the resulting RPMs will be in `/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/` and the SRPMs in `/usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/`.
 1. Example commands to build RPMs for bcfg2-1.1.1 on CentOS 5.5:
   {{{
      $ yum install python-devel python-lxml rpm-build
      ...
      $ cd /tmp
      $ wget ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/bcfg/bcfg2-1.1.1.tar.gz
      ...
      $ rpmbuild -ta bcfg2-1.1.1.tar.gz
      ...
      $ ls /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/
      bcfg2-1.1.1-0.1.noarch.rpm  bcfg2-server-1.1.1-0.1.noarch.rpm
   }}}

== Building from a git checkout ==
 * Enter the `redhat/` directory in the working copy
 * Run `make`
 * The resulting RPMs will be in `/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/`, SRPMs in `/usr/src/redhat/SRPMS`, and will have the VCS tag appended
