 ### Step 1:
 - Build and copy sources to build tree:
 ```
-ant artifacts
-cp build/apache-cassandra-*-src.tar.gz $RPM_BUILD_DIR/SOURCES/
+ant artifacts -Drelease=true
 ```
 
 ### Step 2:
 - Since there is no version specified in the SPEC file, one needs to be passed at `rpmbuild` time (example with 4.0):
 ```
-rpmbuild --define="version 4.0" -ba redhat/cassandra.spec
+mkdir -p build/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SPECS,SRPMS}
+rpmbuild --define="version 4.0" \
+    --define="revision $(date +"%Y%m%d")git$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)%{?dist}" \
+    --define "_topdir $(pwd)/build/rpmbuild" \
+    --define "_sourcedir $(pwd)/build" \
+    -ba redhat/cassandra.spec
 ```
 
+Use revision value in the example above for git based snapshots. Change to `--define="revision 1"` for non-snapshot releases.
+
 - RPM files can be found in their respective build tree directories:
 ```
-ls -l $RPM_BUILD_DIR/{SRPMS,RPMS}/
+ls -l build/rpmbuild/{SRPMS,RPMS}/
 ```
 
 ### Hint:
 - Don't build packages as root..
-```
-# this makes your RPM_BUILD_DIR = ~/rpmbuild
-mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
-echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' > ~/.rpmmacros
-```
