[Spacewalk-list] tito build of spacewalk git sources

[genanr]

Thanks, I will try to follow the steps you mentioned.

Now, for my new question:

How do I go about building all the support files in the spec-tree 
directory?  Do I need to download the files specified in the spec file 
and run tito? Where do I put the source files that I download?  What is 
you method of doing  this?

Thanks,

Andy
