I have problems with the execution of the options on a tarball, which
reflects in the following:
Name field must be present in package: (main package)
Version field must be present in package: (main package)
Release field must be present in package: (main package)
Summary field must be present in package: (main package)
Group field must be present in package: (main package)
License field must be present in package: (main package)
I take it that this means there needs to be a spec file or what?
