I would like to "roll my own" RPM for the WinPower UPS monitoring
software. Never done this before. I have the WinPower tarball on my
box. I have installed the development tools. I followed Filipe's How
to:
<http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment>
and these commands:
mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' > ~/.rpmmacros
(for a non root user)

Questions:
(1) After I unzip the WinPower tarball, what command(s) do I use to
create an RPM for WinPower?
(2) Is there any need to install the development kernel for this?
(This is a fully updated CentOS 5.2 box, 32 bit)

TIA!
