I've looked at a lot of Asterisk spec files (including the ones at
atrpms.net, and the ones at http://www.laimbock.com/asterisk/), but so
far my favorites are the ones done by Jeff C. Ollie at
http://repo.ocjtech.us/misc/fedora/7/SRPMS/.  They're about the most
thorough I've seen.

The Red Hat RPM Guide is online at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/, and it's fairly
good.  I also highly recommend the guide from Guru Labs, available at
http://www.gurulabs.com/GURULABS-RPM-LAB/GURULABS-RPM-GUIDE-v1.0.PDF


Personally, I agree with the original poster... the spec file that's
currently in the Asterisk source is less than useful, and should
probably be replaced.
