there's a makesrpm perl file we ship in src/packaging/RedHat. it takes a few arguments, which include the src and doc tarballs for the version you want, and will spit out an srpm. you then rpmbuild -ba it. not much fuss. > I'm going to play around with the code and docs that are there today, and > see how far I get.
