Hey, I'm a beginner at RPM so please be gentle ;)
I have some binary files for multiple architectures. I would like to pack these in an RPM installer file. It should basically detect the current architecture and copy these files to the correct location. Maybe in the future I will need to add dependencies. What is the easiest way to do this?
For your information, I don't have the sources of these binaries.
Just list the binaries as sources, either individually or tar them up.
Then untar the binaries in the %prep section, skip the %build section, copy the binaries to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in the %install section, and list them in the %files section. Do whatever you need to in the pre/post scripts.
Yep.
Also note that

answers what's essentially the same question.
You should only do this if you really don't have the sources. If you
do have the sources, there are a lot of advantages to doing things
the "right" way.
