A long time ago I had very good step-by-step instructions for building
RPMs, but no more; I Googled it a few days ago and did not find anything
remotely complete. Anyone have some? I am very good with package
installation, scripting, etc., and I do remember spec files, but the
chroot build environment etc. is definitely beyond my memory.
J.E.B.

I never bother creating and managing a chroot environment for my RPM packages.
For local/testing package builds, I use only the "rpmbuild" command, and a
~/RPM directory structure with the usual layout.
For real building in several architectures (i586, x86_64) several distros, and
several versions, I use the openSUSE build service. You provide the spec and
the sources, and it builds the packages and publishes the results if
succeeded. Here are some pointers:
