tgz2rpm

tgz2rpm is a bash script that converts .tar.gz archives to .rpm packages.

Although you can build rpms with command-line program rpmbuild, it can be hard for newbies, this is what I made this wizard. OK, there are other tools such as alien or rpmbuilder, but the first one is also a command-line tool (not wizard) and doesn't allow to customize rpm fields, the second one is broken.

Warning: this script was made in 2000 and become unmantained since then. It's very posible that it may be broken. Consider other utilities such as alien.

It was made with old rpm version so you may need to upgrade it replacing rpm by rpmbuild in line 194.
