If you just fetch the tarball from the rsync home
<URL:http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/>, you can put that in
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/, cd to that directory, and go
"rpm -ta rsync-2.4.6.tar.gz", and that'll rebuild the rpm for you.
The spec file is included in the tarball, and rpm knows how to pull
it out and make an rpm. If you do it as a normal user and not as
root (which I recommend) you'll need to first
"chown -R your-userid /usr/src/redhat" so you own the SPEC dir
where the spec file is written, the BUILD dir where the tarball is
unpacked and the compile is done, and the SRPMS dir and the subdir
RPMS/i386 where the src.rpm and the i386.rpm (respectively) are
written. Then
"rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/rsync-2.4.6-1.i386.rpm".
