-### Building RPM packages
+## Building RPM packages
+
+A script is provided to build RPM packages. This script will run the
+configure and make as part of the process. You'll need to get source
+and document tar archives of the version you want to build, and then
+use a script to build the source RPM, then use the rpmbuild tool to
+build the packages from that source RPM.
To build OpenAFS RPM packages, use the OpenAFS makesrpm.pl script to build a
source RPM, and then use the rpm tool rpmbuild to build the various packages.
