We only change a srpm when either there are "trademark" requirements or a 
build issue requires it.

We have no need for a "public manual" as the public does not build SL.

We download the src.rpm files from TUV.

Rebuild with "rpmbuild --rebuild <src.rpm> .  The rebuilding is done for 
each arch .  We use "mock" as easy "chroot" environment for SL 5.  For SL 
6 we use "koji" which uses "mock" underneath.

The resulant binary rpms are placed in the "tree" .  Scripts are run to 
create supporting files.
