there's by now a better tool to help create an rpm from scratch,

Is there?
Sounds like NO, there has been progress in documentation since 2.5
days, but sounds like it all has to be created
by hand in terms of scripts, spec files, etc. Thanks, but if it
hasn't gotten less time consuming in 12-15 years,
let it be someone else's time.
Thanks much for the pointer to better documentation, that has improved
oh come on this is laughable
take a existing SPEC and change the sources
leave the %files empty and after teh first
build you get a complete list of unpacked files
start a new package by hand usausally takes 2-5 minutes
Using PCLOS, I put rpm into the search function in Synaptic and came up
with a whole batch of files. For building rpms,
or helping to build rpms, some but not all files I found were: easy rpm
builder, java-rpmbuild, multi-arch utils, perl-Youri-Package-RPM-Builder,
perl-Youri-Package-RPM-generator. Haven't tried any of them, but I'm
sure your distro must have some , or some others like them.
Why not find what you can install, and then read the fine manual for
each and see where you're at. Maybe that will answer the question.
