Building the RPM
Some spec files may produce multiple packages -- for example, they may produce separate packages for a game, game data, and documentation; or for a base package and additional plugins for use with that package; or for a base package and multiple user interfaces (such as separate command-line, graphical, and web interfaces). This is done at the discretion of the spec file author where she decides that the user may want to install a subset of the package's features.
 
{{Admon/note|Building to Different Points|The <code>-ba</code> argument means "build all". You can substitute different values to build to different points in the process: <code>-bp</code> to build to the prep stage, <code>-bs</code> to build only a SRPM, and so forth. See the manpage for <rpmbuild" for details.}}
