This is pretty good document https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package Practically you need to install packages mentioned in the section 2 (sudo yum install @development fedora-packager; you better have EPEL switched on as well, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F ). Then you run (as normal user) rpmdev-setuptree cd rpmbuild (copy .spec file to ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/ and tarball and all patches to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES) rpmbuild -ba SPECS/xiphos.spec (install all missed dependencies, and repeat) Or, you can just install packages from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=629828, http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=629811, and http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=629754 (the last one might be available in repos already) and let me know what's broken.
