I just found something pretty neat :
Thanks. But I do not have rpmbuild on my redhat?
Another question is that "is src.rpm the same with a source code package?"

RPMDB(8) System Manager's Manual RPMDB(8)
NAME
rpmdb - RPM Database Tool
SYNOPSIS
rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb}
DESCRIPTION
The general form of an rpm rebuild database command is
rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root DIRECTORY]
Use --initdb to create a new database if one doesn't already exist (existing database is not overwritten), use --rebuilddb to rebuild the
database indices from the installed package headers.
SEE ALSO
popt(3),
rpm(8),
rpmkeys(8),
rpmsign(8),
rpm2cpio(8),
rpmbuild(8),
rpmspec(8),
rpm --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual
matches what's available.
