How to build a compat package

[Kevin Brown]

Not sure what you were expecting. That is the method for turning a 
SRC.RPM into a .RPM if you want to utilize rpm to keep track of what is 
installed and their dependencies. It doesn't actually install the files, 
just builds them into a new .RPM.
Once built you can then do the rpm --upgrade...
