Hey,

How does one make an RPM from a source tarball and an RPM spec file?  
I need to patch the source of MythTV to fix a rather annoying bug  
(http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/1707), and then make an RPM based  
on the ATRPMS spec for the package. Of course, I could just go ahead  
and install from source, but this will mess up my yum upgrades/ 
dependencies.

Thanks!

Ben
