Correct. Just list all the subpackages you want, so dnf/yum can resolve the 
dependencies and install them in the right order.

So first build the suite of RPMs. I create a special user "buildmeister" 
just for building them. (The name is from packaging examples on the ancient 
rpm mailing list of two decades ago.) Run rpmdev-setuptree from the 
rpmdevtools package to create that user's build tree and an initial 
.rpmmacros file. I add this to .rpmmacros to append my initials to the 
release on my packages so it's easy to tell which installed packages are 
mine:

%dist kp

Build the package with:

rpm -tb mailmunge-$VERSION.tar.gz

You'll find the outputs in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/*

As Dianne notes, this installs to different directories, so you'll want to 
first uninstall the non-RPM version and back up your configuration and 
filter.
