I guess the rpmbuild process has specifics that it needs within the
tarball:
root@wayward4now Desktop]# rpmbuild -ta nxbuilder-2.0.0-23.tar.gz
error: Name field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Version field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Release field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)
error: License field must be present in package: (main package)
[root@wayward4now Desktop]#
The above error is printed when the tarball doesn't include a *.spec file .
Which is a spec file, to tell the rpmbuild -ta command (and parameters)
how to build the package to an end rpm.
After several failed attempts i have found that rpmbuild will be
successful when the spec file is present and in the root directory of
the tarball .
