Hereof, how do I create an RPM?
To build an RPM, you must:
- Set up a directory hierarchy per the rpmbuild specifications.
- Place your source code and supplemental files in the proper locations in the hierarchy.
- Create your spec file.
- Build the RPM. You can optionally build a source RPM to share your source code with others.
One may also ask, how do I get spec files from RPM? Install rpmrebuild and "extract" (actually re-create) the spec file of your rpm file or your already installed package. There you have a website and an email address, respectively, where you could ask about a spec file or srpm file. spec files are usually not in rpm. They are in source rpm.
