How to build a "contacts" rpm

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I just asked the Fedora maintainer of "contacts" to
include an an RPM in EPEL and got turned down.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045882

I anyone loves this sweet simple utility and needs an
RPM, here is how you roll your own (works in both
Fedora and the various flavors of Enterprise Linux 6):

1) download Fedora Core 15's SRPM from pbone

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&dist=73&size=367262&name=contacts-0.12-5.fc15.src.rpm

2) rebuild for your current version
       rpmbuild --rebuild contacts-0.12-5.fc15.src.rpm

At the end of the build, you will find where rpmbuild
created your new RPMs.  Save them all: "contacts"
is "end of life"

HTH someone else,
-T
