I'm trying to build a wget.rpm and wget.src.rpm from a wget-1.6.tar.gz ...
to no avail ... I was using several times the first, and one or more times
the second attached wget.spec ... all these failed builds never gave me
either a wget-1.6.src.rpm or a wget-1.6.rpm ... I'm rather sure I made
one ore even more mistakes.
Most of the time I cd'ed as root to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES or to
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS and tried to build the rpms with different
variations of the following command
'rpm -ta wget-1.6.tar.gz' ... <---------------
the only result of the installs were new wget-files scattered over the
system ... :)
So where do I have to put wget-1.6.tar.gz for the build, and where do I
have to cd to (really as root ...?) for it, and (above all) which of the
following wget.spec files seems to be a reasonable solution for the build?
Note: I'd like to let the wget.spec file inside wget-1.6.tar.gz, that's
why I want to do
rpm -ta wget-1.6.tar.gz
(.. the -ta option)
The following is the wget.spec as I changed (at least parts of it) and
built it into wget-1.6.tar.gz

GNU Wget is a freely available network utility to retrieve files from
the World Wide Web, using HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) and
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), the two most widely used Internet
protocols.
This software was built by a newbie on a GNU/Linux Red Hat 6.1, with
rpm-3.0.5-9.6x, glibc-2.1.3-21 and several more updates on it ...
I can't guarantee this software will not ruin the system you're
trying to install it on ...

The last line of the previous file: isn't there a typo ?
(/usr/info/wget*)
and the following wget.spec is the one that was shipped with the original
wget-1.6.tar.gz
(please note the (wrong ?) version-number of wget in this file ... and the
/usr/man/man1/wget.1
at the end of the file: there doesn't seem to be a man1/wget.1 in the
wget-1.6.tar.gz ... so I removed this line in my own wget.spec (above)
(I hope the following formatting for this mail will be readable ...)):

Hard work for you, I know this ... but I don't know what else I could do now
anymore ...
Thanks in anticipation.
