##
The process used to create the official rpms is as follows:
Download latest stable libevent from
http://libevent.org/
The first step of compiling libevent is to configure it as follows:
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
Complete the "make" and "make install". You will need to be root,
or sudo -s, to complete the "make install".
Check for a successful universal binary of libevent.a in, by default,
/usr/local/lib by using the following command:
"file /usr/local/lib/libevent.a"
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

You should have at least two, maybe three, rpms. There should be the binary
i386.rpm, a src.rpm, and on redhat/centos machines, a debuginfo.rpm.
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'

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:
yum 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.)
