While doing this, might want to keep in mind that RPM and the tools
around RPM has changed quite a bit rendering a number of instructions
complete obsolete and even misleading in the old docs. The setting of
buildroot by RPM itself, groups is now optional and so on.

A document which is more up2date but also much shorter is at

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package

While merging in content together into a single guide, make sure it
reflects the current latest information.
