Note that the patches say "2.1" in the name -- they didn't need to be
6-
updated for 2.2.

It is recommended that RPM builders use the python*.src.rpm file
6+
downloaded from the "ftp.python.org:/pub/python/<version>/rpms". These
7+
may be more up to date than the files included in the base Python
8+
release tar-file.

10+
If you wish to build RPMs from the base Python release tar-file, note
11+
that you will have to download the
12+
"doc/<version>/html-<version>.tar.bz2"
13+
file from python.org and place it into your "SOURCES" directory for
14+
the build to complete. This is the same directory that you place the
15+
Python-2.3.1 release tar-file in. You can then use the ".spec" file in
16+
this directory to build RPMs.
