Re: [WBEL-devel] Re: openssl security update needed

seeing that RHEL doesn't support anything below i586, and targets  
packages for i686, I would have just used that target.

Second, one should now have to build out those directories. The  
rpm-build package handles that for you.

Finally, you can edit the .spec file to change organization, distro,  
etc. before building...
