You don't need source to make an rpm. You can simply use an rpm as an
organized way to distribute and keep track of files that are installed.

Thank you. I will give apcupsd a shot. We don't have any APC units,
but, possibly, it will work with our UPS. If not, I will try to get
WinPower running properly. I will also try your suggestions for
searching with yum.
I forgot to mention Network UPS Tools (NUT). That also works with many.
