| Anthony Baxter | fd95c3a | 2003-09-24 01:36:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 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. |
| 9 | |
| 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. |
