build/tag/rpm issues with 5.2.3 and 5.2.2

I have been trying to build/install a rpm package from source of 
net-snmp 5.2.3 and 5.2.2 on Fedora Core 3 for the last week with no success.

I started with source of the latest release 5.2.3 from the download page:

     <http://www.net-snmp.org/download.html>

I was able to compile and install locally.  Great, I can package it 
for my developers.  However, the dist directory contains a note:

>This dist directory contains release instructions and scripts as well
>as binary building instructions and helpful scripts.  However, only
>the main line CVS tree ("HEAD") for Net-SNMP contains the maintained
>versions of all of these files.  They have been removed from this
>directory.  Thus, if you would like to see them check out the main
>line CVS tree per the instructions on:

So, I used cvs to check out the HEAD of the net-snmp/dist 
directory.  However, I couldn't find a tag for the version of the 
Makefile or net-snmp.spec file that was used to build 5.2.3.  It 
appears these files have diverged quite a bit over the last seven 
months and would not be usable to build the 5.2.3 release from source.

I then found a tag in the source for the 5.2.2 release.  I pulled 
that release and was able to compile.  However, when I used the 
makefile in the dist directory the build failed because two different 
libraries were missing.  The FAQ had the solution for that!  Once I 
had it packaged, it would not install on a FC3 box which had net-snmp 
5.1.2 installed on it because of conflicts with files.  It appears 
some files have moved between packages between 5.1 and 5.2?  For example:

[root@ctc72 i386]# rpm --upgrade net-snmp-5.2.2-1.i386.rpm
         file /usr/bin/net-snmp-config from install of 
net-snmp-5.2.2-1 conflicts with file from package net-snmp-devel-5.1.2-11
         file /usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so from install of net-snmp-5.2.2-1 
conflicts with file from package net-snmp-devel-5.1.2-11

I then added the following line to the configure line of the 
net-snmp.spec file to have it install in a unique location:

         --prefix="/usr/local/net-snmp-5.2.2-1" \

Though, it looks like the option is ignored as my built RPM packages 
want to install in the default location.

Any ideas on how I should proceed?

Thanks,

Rex Tener
