So can you guys please help me >> to write a new RPM spec.If you have set up an RPM build server then you should have installed the rpmbuild and rpmdevtools packages. If you have installed the latter then you can use vi (vim/gvim) to automatically create an empty spec template file simply by opening any new file name ending in '.spec'.

It will look like this:Rather than relying on vim to do this, you can also use 'rpmdev-newspec' to create a new spec file, which has options to automatically set up packages for Perl, Python, PHP (etc.) modules, system libraries or a really minimal simple package. Read the man page for 'rpmdev-newspec'. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
