Ah... umm... yes... I wondered how those patches got used. <sheepish grin> It just goes to show you - a (very) little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

OK, got it now. (and thanks to Bryn M. Reeves for the link)

$ pwd
/usr/src/redhat/

$ find . -name "*.spec"
./SOURCES/dhcp-4.0.0/contrib/dhcp.spec
./SPECS/dhcp.spec

$ rpmbuild -bc ./SPECS/dhcp.spec
...lots of stuff...
...couple of warning messages...
