Hi,

I am very new to rpm packaging (new learner :)).
Please find below mentioned spec file (apache-tomcat-5.5.35-src.spec) content:

while building rpm using the command 'rpmbuild -bb spec_file_name ' it displayed :

Please don't build packages as root but as unprivileged user.

Please use lowercase directive, file and directory names in .spec files except where required (like BestCrypt or BCWipe .src.rpms).


Also:
- License is a type (GPL, MIT, BSD) and not a file.
- Name may be "tomcat", RHEL5(-like) ship tomcat5-* packages (tomcat5, tomcat5-admin-webapps, tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-javadoc, tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api, you get the idea).
- %files section looks odd, it most likely doesn't contain only "/usr/bin/ApacheTomcat". Best read some basic RPM-packager docs, Fedora has a good one.
