 ## How to build release packages from OpenAFS source distributions
 
-The OpenAFS project provides [source code distributions of releases][3]. These
-files are, of course, available via AFS3 at
-`/afs/grand.central.org/software/openafs` The source RPM file can be built from
-the source distribution releases without external tools.
+The OpenAFS project provides a source code distributions of [releases][3]. A
+source RPM (src.rpm) file can be built from a source distribution release,
+which can the be used to build rpm packages.

+Step 3. Run the `makesrpm.pl` script to build the source rpm.
 
-Step 3. Set the version strings.
-
-The version being built must be set in the spec file. Replace the following
-three version placeholders to create a spec file.
-
-    $ sed \
-      -e s/@PACKAGE_VERSION@/1.8.5/ \
-      -e s/@LINUX_PKGVER@/1.8.5/ \

-Step 4: Download the CellServDB file.
-
-The CellServDB file is maintained at grand.central.org. Download the expected
-version specified in the spec file.  The path is set in the spec file as
-`Source20` in existing spec files. This could change in the future.

-     $ grep '^Source20' openafs.spec
