You're exactly right; I don't have any RPM systems and had to do those
releases under embargo.

I'll re-post the instructions I've gotten for how to generate an SRPM from
scratch:

tar xf openafs-1.8.0-src.tar.bz2 openafs-1.8.0/src/packaging/RedHat
./openafs-1.8.0/src/packaging/RedHat/makesrpm.pl openafs-1.8.0-src.tar.bz2
openafs-1.8.0-doc.tar.bz2 RELNOTES-1.8.0 ChangeLog

This should be either done on a system with an old rpm or with the
following in ~/.rpmmacros:

# build EL5 compatible SRPMs:
%_source_filedigest_algorithm md5


An enterprising soul might find a good place for that in the wiki (ideally,
after verifying that it still works).

Thanks,

Ben
