+# Building the rpm locally
+
+The revised spec file uses [`go-vendor-tools`]
+(https://fedora.gitlab.io/sigs/go/go-vendor-tools/scenarios/#generate-specfile-with-go2rpm)
+which enable vendoring for Go
+language packages in Fedora.
+
+Follow these steps to build an rpm locally using Fedora packager tools.
+These steps assume a Fedora machine.
+
+1. Install packager tools. See [Installing Packager Tools](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Installing_Packager_Tools/).
+
+1. Install go-vendor-tools:
+
+   ``` bash
+   sudo dnf install go-vendor-tools*
+   ```
+
+1. Copy `podman-bootc.spec` and `go-vendor-tools.toml` into a directory.
+
+1. Change into the directory.
+
+1. Change version in spec file if needed.
+
+1. Download tar file:
+
+   ``` bash
+   spectool -g -s 0 podman-bootc.spec
+   ```
+
+1. Generate archive:
+
+   ```bash
+   go_vendor_archive create --config go-vendor-tools.toml podman-bootc.spec
+   ```
+
+1. Build rpm locally:
+
+   ```bash
+   fedpkg --release rawhide mockbuild --srpm-mock
+   ```
+
+1. Check output in the `results_podman-bootc` subdirectory
