rpm -ivh something.src.rpm

Code Block
%_topdir      %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild
%_smp_mflags  -j3
%__arch_install_post   /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths   /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot

3. Edit or create .spec file in ~/rpmbuild/SPECS.

A simple .spec file template can be viewed here, or downloaded here.
A more advanced example, the iRODS .spec file, can be viewed here, or downloaded here.

Code Block
rpmbuild -bs --nodeps ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/something.spec
