 Back
just post it to show how non rooted rpms builds can be done

in your home dir make a rpm dir, cd into this and now as root copy the dir
structure of /usr/src/redhat to your own dir, adjust permissions to the
user that will make rpms, and place the atteched macro file below in the
homedir

next is just as regulary user

rpmbuild -tb tarfile --target=athlon

if you like me have a athlon type cpu :-)

now the compiled rpms should be in /home/user/rpm ready to be installed as
root

sorry if i just post a faq :-)
