It's not only Source: myfile.tar.gz... From what I have read, for example here: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-bu...spec-file.html Almost all sections under %description is completely different from my .spec file... This is a reason that I asked for a template that should work at least in most cases... And if possible with description like:

Code:

%prep
#This section will remove previous version of your package and will unpack a new version from your myfile.tar.gz
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_DIR/cdplayer-1.0
zcat $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/cdplayer-1.0.tgz | tar -xvf -

or it should be:

Code:

%prep
%setup

?

And so on...

Code:

%build
make 

%install
make install

And what I need to write under %files section ?:

Code:

%files
?

And what with Install/Uninstall Scripts ? where I need put them ? under which section ? If need it at all ? How to know if need to be here ?

Code:

%pre

%post

%preun

%postun

The %clean Section.. Need or not ? How I know what to write here ?

%changelog, under or before %clean Section ?

After this a creating rpm ?

Code:

rpm -ba cdplayer-1.0.spec
