Hi Christophe, Thanks for your reply and the spec file. I have solved my issue for now. I didn't want to rely building spark using the spec file (%build section) as I don't want to be maintaining the list of files that need to be packaged. I ended up adding maven build support to make-distribution.sh. This script produces a tar ball which I can then use to create a RPM package.

The maven build page<http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/building-with-maven.html#building-spark-debian-packages> mentions a way to create a debian package but I was wondering if there is a simple way (preferably through maven) to create a RPM package. Is there a script (which is probably used for spark releases) that I can get my hands on? Or should I write one on my own? P.S. I don't want to use the "alien" software to convert a debian package to a RPM.
