Its contents are maintained by Sean Reifschneider <jafo@tummy.com>. -Note that the patches say "2.1" in the name -- they didn't need to be -updated for 2.2. +It is recommended that RPM builders use the python*.src.rpm file +downloaded from the "ftp.python.org:/pub/python/<version>/rpms". These +may be more up to date than the files included in the base Python +release tar-file. + +If you wish to build RPMs from the base Python release tar-file, note +that you will have to download the +"doc/<version>/html-<version>.tar.bz2" +file from python.org and place it into your "SOURCES" directory for +the build to complete. This is the same directory that you place the +Python-2.3.1 release tar-file in. You can then use the ".spec" file in +this directory to build RPMs. |
