Hi Mark,
One of the best books which I have used is RedHat RPM Guide. There
is a free version of the book available in Fedora RPM project which
explains the design principles & best practices.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/
html/RPM_Guide/
On top of that there here are the docs floating around that I personally
recommend to people:
http://www.redhat.com/promo/summit/2008/downloads/pdf/Wednesday_130pm_Tom_Callaway_OSS.pdf
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/RPMMacros
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Packaging_Tricks
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ (Slightly outdated, but still useful)
I found the snapshot version helped me get my head aroung
using RPM as a normal user, and for building packages:
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/
I will of course checkout the other links mentioned as well.
