1. Release: 1%{?dist}
What this 1%{?dist} ? It mean the spec file will read this number from source package ? Or I can just write the release number that I want ?

2. Source0: http://www.sample.org/samle/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
If I already have tar.gz file, can I just put it to /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES folder and write it as is, for example:

Code:

Source0: /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/purple-facebook-3d30d24fdbef.tar.gz

3. BuildRequires: somelibrariesthat are needed
How I check what libraries my package need ?

4. Requires: somerequireddependenciesforapplication
How I check what requires my package need ?

5. make %{?_smp_mflags}
What it mean ? I need leave it as you wrote ? or I need change it {?_smp_mflags} to something ?

Thanks

Requires - If I build my package from zero, I know what I need put here, but if I just downloaded tar.gz file of someone. Can I check it somehow from the tar.gz file itself ?
Same about BuildRequires... You say "You need to read what your program depends on", but where to read it ? Some readme file from tar.gz file ?
Thanks
