Today I wanted to update to latest rhythmbox. Unfortunately it’s not (yet) available for Fedora 16. Yet it’s available for next to come F17 so I rebuilt it:

1. download src rpm

 $ yumdownloader --releasever=17 --enablerepo=updates-testing \
   --source rhythmbox

2. install required dependencies

 # yum install libpeas-devel libgudev1-devel gobject-introspection-devel \
   pygobject3-devel libgpod-devel GConf2-devel brasero-devel \
   gstreamer-plugins-base-devel totem-pl-parser-devel avahi-glib-devel \
   libmusicbrainz3-devel dbus-devel dbus-glib-devel libnotify-devel \
   gstreamer-devel gnome-doc-utils libsoup-devel lirc-devel libmtp-devel \
   libdmapsharing-devel webkitgtk3-devel gstreamer-python-devel \
   libgnome-keyring-devel json-glib-devel libSM-devel perl-XML-Parser \
   intltool gnome-common clutter-gtk-devel clutter-gst-devel libmx-devel \
   grilo-devel libtdb-devel

3. install src rpm

 $ rpm -ivh rhythmbox-2.96-1.fc17.src.rpm

4. build rpm

 $ rpmbuild -bb rpmbuild/SPECS/rhythmbox.spec

5. install (just built) rpm

 # rpm -Uvh /home/jeo/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/rhythmbox-2.96-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm

6. cleanup dependencies

 # yum remove Conf2-devel avahi-glib-devel brasero-devel \
   clutter-gst-devel clutter-gtk-devel dbus-devel dbus-glib-devel \
   gnome-common gnome-doc-utils gobject-introspection-devel grilo-devel  \
