If anybody wants to build rpms easier from sources, get mezzanine and
specgen (included in mezzanine).  You can either do it locally or with a
VC backend (version control, ala cvs or svn) to manage your versions
that mezzanine will build.  It takes a few hours of playing with it to
understand the process, but the advantages are HUGE.  The lead developer
of mezzanine has two really nice writeups on it here:
