I could not wait any further :-) I needed the packages only for testing now so I tried to figure it out. These are steps needed to create RPMs (however I can not guarantee there is no error or mistake :-) ): 1) unpack tarball and run configure this is the step I have the biggest "ideological" problem. Configure should be run when building not when preparing spec file. But IMHO this "first" configure processes spec.in and create spec file (expanding macros etc...). Of course it also prepares all the sources but when building "the second" configure should override all settings made by the first one. 2) remove all references to developer.pdf prom spec file as it could not be created by the build process (maybe only on my machine?) 3) download depkgs tarball, documentation tarball, etc - all the required files are specified on the beginning of the spec file - and put them into the same directory as final tarball 4) remove (rename) the other spec file 5) tar changed files to tarball again 6) rpmbuild -tb ----defines---- tarbal.tar.gz This worked for me...
