This directory contains support file used to build RPM releases of Python. Its contents are maintained by Sean Reifschneider <[email protected]>. It is recommended that RPM builders use the python*.src.rpm file downloaded from the "ftp.python.org:/pub/python/<version>/rpms". These may be more up to date than the files included in the base Python release tar-file. If you wish to build RPMs from the base Python release tar-file, note that you will have to download the "doc/<version>/html-<version>.tar.bz2" file from python.org and place it into your "SOURCES" directory for the build to complete. This is the same directory that you place the Python-2.3.1 release tar-file in. You can then use the ".spec" file in this directory to build RPMs.
