## Instructions for building the official rpms.
##
The process used to create the official rpms is as follows:

You'll need to install libevent headers, usually located in package named
libevent-devel. Alternatively, you could download latest libevent from
http://libevent.org/ but that shouldn't be necessary.

Download and Extract the latest tor source code from
https://www.torproject.org/download

In the resulting directory:
LIBS=-lrt ./configure
make dist-rpm

You should have at least two, maybe three, rpms.  There should be the binary
(i686|x86_64).rpm, a src.rpm, and on redhat/centos machines, a debuginfo.rpm.
The debuginfo rpms are created if package redhat-rpm-config is installed (case
of redhat distros).

This step suffices unless you want to create RPMs for distros other than the
one you used for building.


## Instructions for building RPMs for multiple architectures or distributions
## using 'mock' on Fedora or RHEL (and clones)

Make sure you have mock installed and configured, see following HOWTOs for setup:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Mock_to_test_package_builds

Take the source RPM generated by previous step, and execute mock for every
target architecture (the names come from files in /etc/mock, strip the .cfg
extension in the -r parameter):

mock --rebuild -r fedora-17-x86_64 tor-X.Y.Z.src.rpm

Building for EL5 from newer distro (e.g. EL6 or Fedora 17) will fail due to bug
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490613).
Here's a workaround:

Before even building the source RPM, install fedora-packager and instruct
the build system to use rpmbuild-md5 like this:

dnf install fedora-packager
export RPMBUILD=rpmbuild-md5

Then proceed as usual to create the source RPM and binary RPMs:

LIBS=-lrt ./configure
make dist-rpm
mock --rebuild -r epel-5-x86_64 tor-X.Y.Z.src.rpm


(Note: don't build under OpenVZ - it breaks unshare() syscall, which in turn
breaks mock. It could save you several hours.)
