http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package Your easiest solution would be to download/install the source RPM for the system's package and then edit it's spec file to use your source tar, removing any patches that won't apply to the new one, etc. In essence, gratuitously steal their setup, and make it your own.
