When I started this project, I found very little information about creating rpm packages, but I managed to find a book, Maximum RPM, that helped me figure it out. That book is now somewhat out of date, as is the vast majority of information I have found. It is also out of print, and used copies go for hundreds of dollars. The online version of Maximum RPM is available at no charge and is kept up to date. The RPM website also has links to other websites that have a lot of documentation about rpm. What other information there is tends to be brief and apparently assumes that you already have a good deal of knowledge about the process.
