asterisk users - Nov 2007 - Building an Asterisk 1.4 RPM

I'm a little confused. I'd like to build an RPM for Asterisk 1.4.
Is it better to modify and use the spec file under redhat/asterisk.spec and run
a 'make rpm', OR is it better to build a custom spec file from scratch
and use 'rpmbuid -ba' <specfile>?

How do people normally do it?

The problem I see with a custom spec file is that since the source is all
contained within a tar.gz file, there's no way to interactively run a
'make menuselect' first and customise or remove what you don't need.
For example, if I don't do this, the ogg
 vorbis module is installed by default, and then when I go to install my rpm,
there's complaints all round if the ogg vorbis libs aren't already
installed.

Doug.

Try this link. There is a lot of info and source rpms that you can rebuild.
