Re: How to create an RPM from a source tarball?

I guess the rpmbuild process has specifics that it needs within the tarball:

root@wayward4now Desktop]# rpmbuild -ta nxbuilder-2.0.0-23.tar.gz
error: Name field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Version field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Release field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)
error: License field must be present in package: (main package)
[root@wayward4now Desktop]#

Which is a spec file, to tell the rpmbuild -ta command (and parameters) how to build the package to an end rpm.

Cheers,

Aly.
