Creating RPMS from scratch for Redhat 8
 
Can someone explain to me in layman terms what the process is for creating RPMs from Tar zips and/or src rpms?

I have seen tar.gz files
I have seen src.i386.rpm files

I have heard of the commands Make, Make Install, RPM, RPMBuild, etc...its all so confusing...

If I one of the above files how do I turn it into am rpm that will install properly on RedHat 8.0 for example?

if you want to create an rpm from a tarball then it will need to have a valid rpm spec file inside it. if not then you'd need to write your own from scratch. http://rpm.org for guides etc...
