I have read in some places that we can make an rpm package from tar.gz, by issuing rpmbuild -ta. However it doesn't seem to work. Any hints?
Generally works well if there's a .spec file in the tarball, not at all if there's none. I don't know exactly what happens if there are two or more .spec files; I suspect you get rpms as defined by one of them.
The "-t" code on rpm is ugly, Ugly, UGLY. I avoid using it at all costs. Having more than one specfile on the tarball is not something I would be willing to experiment with.
