Hi Robert, There is a script to generate it, but it's part of the waf rpm build script. Essentially you run that within a working source directory and builds a tarball and runs rpmbuild -bb cloud.spec against it. So the easiest way is to just tar up the source contents, or you can grab any of the tarballs from any of the tags here: https://github.com/CloudStack/CloudStack/tags My goal is to get rid of waf (which is currently how RPMs/DEBs are built) and end up using ant for build and install. Right now waf does a considerable amount of the install piece. I have a working spec to build with ant - but haven't gotten all of the waf specific stuff back into the any deploy target yet, so the spec while it works looks like a mass of cp -a statements. --David
