Not really -- unless the developer provided such a rule on the app's Makefile. However, AFAICS providing the spec file would be the easiest way. If you tarball has a spec file, you can build binary (and source) RPMs directly from the tarball with the -ta parameter: rpm -ta tarball spec files for trivial cases are not hard to write, check Matthias Saou's excellent docs at http://freshrpms.net/docs/fight/. Also, don't forget to check the mandatory reference MaximumRPM [http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/] HTH Andre -- Andre Oliveira da Costa
