An SRPM is a .src.rpm file that contains the SOURCE for an RPM
in most situations this will also include source code for the
application and this is compiled during RPM generation.
Pipeline for an SRPM:

Creating the spec file is actually careful work that is error-prone and requires training and testing.
You are advised to read the rpm documentation, particularly pertaining to SPEC file SECTIONS and MACROS.
Note:
This is much easier with a build system, either as a result of a cmake build or in a larger system like Koji.

Tons and tons and tons of loading. That's expected. It's creating a mock build environment for the
compile so that you're getting a clean package that's aware of the profile of the system it's intended for.
These packages are not installed on your driver.
Note:
Due to a transition from yum to DNF for RH upstream, which has not yet hit EL6 and EL7, you will need
a newer version of mock that fixes a bug caused by that change. It is in the updates-testing repo.
sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-testing-updates.repo
Enable it, then `sudo dnf -y update && sudo dnf update mock`
Note: I also had to install the undocumented package yum-utils to bring the /usr/bin/yum-builddep tool back.
At this point I had to reduce the boost requirement to 1.4 to compile on EL6 which won't compile without a
full rewrite of my solution since it heavily uses the boost libraries. EL6 is old. Trying EL7.

There’s a better way to do this I was just hoping to have a clean build tree for boost. I’m just too fucking tired, I’ll have to carry this over to a third day until I can get some time to myself.
