-Note that the patches say "2.1" in the name -- they didn't need to be
-updated for 2.2.
+It is recommended that RPM builders use the python*.src.rpm file
+downloaded from the "ftp.python.org:/pub/python/<version>/rpms".  These
+may be more up to date than the files included in the base Python
+release tar-file.
+
+If you wish to build RPMs from the base Python release tar-file, note
+that you will have to download the
+"doc/<version>/html-<version>.tar.bz2"
+file from python.org and place it into your "SOURCES" directory for
+the build to complete.  This is the same directory that you place the
+Python-2.3.1 release tar-file in.  You can then use the ".spec" file in
+this directory to build RPMs.
