How to Modify rpm spec file for a particular package

[colm10]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to modify the .spec file for a particular package. I am trying to modify the Summary information for a particular package and there does not appear to be any option with rpm to do this.

There is plenty of info on creating the spec file etc but i need to modify an existing spec file with new Summary Info. I cant seem to locate the spec file to modify it.

For example, how would i change the summary information that would appear for the package "less". At the moment it prints out as follows and i would like to change the summary content:

>rpm -qi less
Name : less
.....
Summary : A text file browser similar to more, but better.

Nearly all the info available is regarding creating new spec files and cant find much on modifying ones that are already there ( eg Incl how to find them ). Any ideas would be appreciated.
