Re: [squid-users] okay, not purely squid related

Here's how:

1. Unpack the source RPM:

    rpm -ivh squid-2.4.STABLE3-1.7.2.src.rpm

2. Edit the spec file to add desired options to the ./configure line:

    vi /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/squid.spec

3. Rebuild the binary (for testing) and source rpm files:

    rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/squid.spec

4. Clean up source files:

    rpm --rmsource --rmspec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/squid.spec

5. Your new SRPMS will be in directory /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS.
