How do I become someone who helps build and maintain packages that

bash and python knowledge, my LUG, and this list.

I checked there out. I was hoping for HOWTOs and tutorials on the
subject. As I said, currently all I have is the will.
Hmmm, if you could expand a little bit, please, on what you'd like to
know, I promise to reply with more than 2-3 lines, too. :-)
The aforementioned page links several howto/faq-like documents.
I would like to learn , basiaclly, how to build RPMs first and foremost.
I would also like to learn how to submit packages to Fedora Extra,
although that part seems to be documented adequately.
I would also appreciate an RPM for checkinstall that works in FC4. I
seem to be segfaulting with the one available in Extras. I understand
that there is a patch out for it.
