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.
