Roger,

About 'how to crated RPMs' I can suggest you a read:
http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2009/05/rpm-packaging-for-beginners/

=> It gives you basic insight into creating a .spec file.

If you wish, you can always find me on #opensuse-gnome on freenode.
You're more than welcome to swing by and ask anything. We'll gladly get
you started there. Best would be for you to find something you want to
have packaged up (preferably for a start a single app / package, not an
entire gnome/kde/lxde stack :P )

Dominique
