Create RPM Files

 STEPS FOR CREATING THE RPM FILES:::

A) first we have to create the five file in any directory i.e::::
mkdir -p BUILD  RPMS  SOURCES  SPECS  SRPMS

B) create your binary file of any program like i created one program of hello world!! and then compile it then it become the binary file.
copy that binary file into that path  SOURCE->rpmdemo-0.1 ->bin

then make the tar file of the rpmdemo-0.1.tar.gz.

Then make the spec file and past it into the SPECS folder .

Some changes in the spec file are : change the name of rpm of your output(binary of the hello world.).

then compile it by that command :::

rpmbuild -v -bb --clean SPECS/rpmdemo.spec --define "_topdir${PWD}"

Only .tar.gz, .tar, .tgz and .tar.Z can be used with RPM.
