Hi Romain,
Thank you for this.
I want to build packages for centos 5.6.
I searched for a howto and found this one, very interresting and complete.
It's not about compiling a specific software, but it's a course to learn
creating rpm packages. I will go through this course, then try to build from
full tarball.
The course :

I will also look at your links.
Best,
Alain
