Build an RPM package for Vuze

To start you will neded to get into super user mode (su) and install Development tools (yum install "Development tools") and rpmdevtools (yum install rpmdevtools)

If the ~/rpmbuild directory doesn't exist use the command "rpmdev-setuptree".
if  ~/rpmbuild already exists then use the command "rpmdev-wipetree".

Place the .tar.gz Vuze package that you just downloaded, into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES and create vuze.spec in the ~/rpmbuild/specs folder

That .spec must have at least a Name, Version, Release, Summary and License field

i.e
  Name: Vuze
  Version: 4504
  Release: 1
  Summary: P2P bittorrent client
  License: GPL

  %description
    P2P bittorrent

Finally run the command "rpmbuild -ba vuze.spec"
