Introduction
============

This document provides a few utilities to help build and modify source
rpms.  This is ideal for RPM packagers who need to compare different
source rpms and the changes they have undergone.

These are the scripts I'm using to achieve that and may be useful to
other developers who build packages.

Acknowledgments
===============

These scripts would not have happened without me getting involved in
building RPMs. I have Wietse Venema to thank for that as I was one of the
first people to build Postfix rpms.
