I think I'm closer, but I'm also at the point where I'm just trying things. My current issue, that I keep falling back to, is the install *INSISTS* that it has to add a - after version. %prep %install mkdir $RPM_BUILD_DIR/opt/smipmicfg-%{version} install -m 744 -d %{buildroot}/%{name}-%{version} %clean rm -rf %{buildroot} %files %{buildroot}/%{name} All I want to build is a package to create /opt/smipmicfg-1.20.0, and copy files into it. What I see from the rpmbuild is + cd /usr//local//src//rpmbuild/BUILD + '[' /usr/local/src/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/smipmicfg-1.27.0-.el7.centos.x86_64 '!=' / ']' And you see that "-" after the name/version mark
