Yes, but there are some caveats/notes you must be aware of:

o do not build under /usr, as a bug in qmake will create bad paths.
o Use --define 'atrelase() %1.Alex' or similar as an argument to rpmbuild

The latter will change to be more rebuild friendly (e.g. no extra
command line arguments will be needed).

I'd also like to add DVB support to the rpms, if they do not break
anything else.
