That's kind of a tutorial to get you started. I've never done any serious
packaging on rpm based distribution but rebuilding works if you prepare the
enviroment a bit and you've a development system to build on. I didn't mess
with mock and chroots though.

IIRC from a few weeks ago you've to install some rpm* packages (you need the
rpmbuild tool), prepare a directory structure for SPECS SOURCE and the binary
packages in your $HOME and add a .rpmrc with some meta information.  Then
rpmbuild -ba foo/SPEC/scponly.spec.

RPM source packages can be extracted with rpm2cpio foo.src.rpm|cpio -id

Your directory structure will reassemble what you find in /usr/src/
The .spec file is kind of the debian directory from the Debian world.

Hope that helps you to get started, rpm.org might have some more information
and links.
