compiling from a source rpm
by lloyd » Dec 11th, '19, 17:55
I downloaded the source code for dvdauthor, as I think it might have a bug (which I probably can't fix anyway) I want to try recompiling it myself (mostly for the experience) How do I do it and where do I start? Thank you.

Your best bet is to download the latest src.rpm, then install that as regular user, which would then end up in your ~/rpmbuild folder as described in https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packagers_RP ... ce_package
Then adjust the .spec file to your tarball for the source code you downloaded via the Source0 stanza.
