Do you have a public manual which describes the process of We only change a srpm when either there are "trademark" requirements or a build issue requires it.

Can you give me a more information about that? 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. > > Best wishes > What is the nature of your inquiry? -Connie Sieh
