+  Building rpm packages
+---
+
+Here is how to build locally an rpm package. Tested at the time on a centos 7.
+
+## Setup your environment
+
+First of all, you have to use a non-root account.
+
+ - Create the necessary directories : `mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,S{OURCE,PEC,RPM}S}`
+ - Tell rpmbuild where to build by adding the following in your `.rpmmacros` file : `echo -e “%_topdir\t$HOME/rpmbuild” » ~/.rpmmacros`
+
+## Building package
+
+There are several ways to build a rpm, depending on what kind of stuff you have to deal with.
+
+### Building from a tar.gz archive containing a .spec file
+
+Run the following on you .tar.gz archive : `rpmbuild -tb memcached-1.4.0.tar.gz`. When the building process ends, you will find your package in a `$HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/` like directory, depending on your architecture.
+
+### Building from a spec file
+
+ - `rpmbuild -v -bb ./contrib/redhat/collectd.spec`
+ - If you are missing some dependencies : `rpmbuild -v -bb ./contrib/redhat/collectd.spec 2>&1 |awk '/is needed/ {print $1;}'|xargs yum install -y`
