[HLUG] Source RPMs

[Jeff Tupholme]

Hi all,

I believe most people are running Ubuntu but I still have a couple of  
machines running a Red Hat variant (Yellow Dog). That uses RPM for  
its package management. I want to add a couple of additional codecs  
to ffmpeg that are only available in source form, so I thought I  
would try to incorporate them into the source RPM (SRPM). I believe I  
can unpack the SRPM and add the extra directories in before building;  
the ffmpeg Makefile is supposed to notice them and roll them in.

Sounds easy, but anyone who has done this sort of thing before have  
any tips before I start!?


Thanks,

Jeff
