I'm trying to build some rpms for SuSE 8.0. Meanwhile I have got some
for lwp, rvm and rpc2 but I can't find a tarball under
ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/src/

RPM-rebuilding the srpm of coda needs root-privilege because of a
"chown". 
Although rebuilding the srpm as root there is still a problem
with some redhat-directories. It stops with this output:

It seems that the rebuild of the srpm mixes the BUILD between
/usr/src/redhat and /usr/src/packages. A tarball might helpful. TNX in
advance!
