rpmbuild --help

and you get some info.

the most useful:

rpmbuild -bs file.spec
and rpmbuild -bs --nodeps file.spec

That's all 'bout spec. You may also want to use spectool to
automagically download sourcer and put where they should exist.

yum install rpmdevtools
ie. spectool -g -R -S file.spec
