RPMs are finicky beasts, and if you're creating a SPEC file by hand, there are a few "gotchas" that you have to watch out for.

can anyone give me a short intro on how to build a SuSE RPM for a package that I have only as tarball or point me to some docs about this? As far as I understand I need to write a SPEC file for this, but I couldn't find anything about typical SuSE SPEC file settings...
