## Instructions for building the official rpms.
-##
-These are instructions for building Tor binaries in the rpm format on
-various cpu architectures and operating systems. Each rpm will require
-glibc on the target system. It is believed that any rpm-based linux
-distribution should have semi-current glibc installed by default.
-If you run into a distribution that does not work with glibc, or does
-not contain it, please let us know the details.
+##
+The process used to create the official rpms is as follows:
-These are the exact steps used to build the official rpms of Tor.
+Download and Extract the latest tor source code from https://www.torproject.org/.
+In the resulting directory:
+./configure
+make dist-rpm
+
+You should have at least two, maybe three, rpms. There should be the binary
+i386.rpm, a src.rpm, and on redhat/centos machines, a debuginfo.rpm.
+## Optional customization

If you wish to further tune Tor binaries in rpm format beyond this list,
see the GCC doc page for further options:

only "linux". If you wish to build rpms for a non-linux operating
system, you can replace "linux" with your operating system.
-The process used to create the distributed rpms is as follows:
-Download and Extract the latest tor source code from https://www.torproject.org/.
-In the Tor directory:
-./configure
-make dist-rpm
