I setup the RPM build server and read some doc to write the spec files. but i did get it clearly. So can you guys please help me to write a new RPM spec.

The easiest way to create a spec file is to look at an existing spec file for something similar to what you're trying to write. Some spec files are very simple, and some are so elaborate they're almost impossible to understand.

A good place to start is here:

http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/

Lots of RPM spec files can be found here:

https://git.centos.org/ (for CentOS packages)

and

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ (for Fedora and EPEL packages)
