If there's a howto for this stuff or something that would be great, or
just some friendly pointers.
You can download the book Maximum RPM from
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/doc/RH-DOCS/
There is a description of it at
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672311054/qid=1069030553/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-0223493-8504945?v=glance&s=books
Although the book is becoming dated (covering version 2.0 when 4.0 is out), it still has good information of building .rpm's.
