[kwlug-disc] Making RPM from directory tree?

[William Park]

To RPM guys,

I have a directory tree, created from "make install DESTDIR=...".  Now, 
I want to make RPM package from the tree.  Online docs are too verbose 
and confusing.
	1. Is there GUI app with appropriate forms to fill in?
	2. Is there command line utility?  In Slackware, it's just "makepkg".

Background:

I use "netpipes" a lot.  Debian and Slackware have it, but Redhat 
variants don't.  I can use netcat and pipe (and I do), but there are so 
many variations (ie. nc, netcat, ncat), each with different behaviour 
and options.  I like to use what I'm familiar with.

So, I downloaded the source (netpipes-4.2), compiled it, and installed 
to a directory.  Now what?
