rpm file creation
 
hello friends

Do anyone know how to make a rpm file from the binary files or source files in details or with example.

is there any tool out there to do it other then rust

look through the guides at rpm.org. if you are creating this from your own source files then you will need to write a specfile to translate it to an rpm. if it's someone elses and there is already a spec file there you should be able to compile it using rpm directly. check the rpm manpage for flags to do this.

Thanks but are there any tools to do that.

to do what part? the rpm program IS a fine tool for most of it.

A good one for making RPMs out of source is
checkinstall.
