Could anyone recommend some good resources I might go to for making an RPM?
(Ultimately, I'd like to make a dpkg. I hear alien is a good way to do that, but am open to any other ways of doing so.)
Could anyone recommend some good resources I might go to for making an RPM?
http://www.rpm.org is good, particularly http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ section II " RPM and Developers".
Also try looking at some existing spec files to get a handle on the variety of things you can/should be doing.

Fedora has a pretty good document on the subject as well:
