Hello All
I've successfuly compiled my linux aplpication and would like now to create a RPM of my application.
Is there any existing graphic tool that allows to build RPMs packages on fedora core 5 ?
Thanks

KDE has such a thing... called KRPM or something.

Perhaps it would be worth the effort writing a spec file on your own (without using a graphical frontent, just using an editor :) ). It's not so hard if you once understood how it works. It has the advantage that rpm will exactly do what you want it to do :D

My resources for this are:
Fedora: RPM Guide (points 8.-12.)
Fedora Core Developer's Guide: 4.1 Spec File

the tool thomas meant is called krpmbuilder :)
Nightly builds for openSUSE

Thanks for your help
I'll try to construct my spec file by hand ...
