Important:

• archive name must be in the format $(name)-$(version).tar.gz and directory within it must be named as $(name)-$(version)
  
• filename of the .spec file must be exactly as a package name, do not change it
  
• do not run rpmdev-setuptree and rpmbuild as a root user
  

To prepare your environment for building .rpm package do the following:

1. install instruments:
   sudo yum install epel-release rpmdevtools yum-utils
   
2. install latest pip and wheel (you can also look at this documentation):
   wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python get-pip.py
   
3. create directory hierarchy for rpm (this will create directory ~/rpmbuild with the subdirectories BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS):
   rpmdev-setuptree
   
4. place bench.spec into ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
   
5. place bench-0.92.tar.gz into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
   
6. install all required for .rpm building dependencies:
   sudo yum-builddep ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bench.spec
   

To build .rpm package run:
rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bench.spec
The resulting .rpm will be in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/ and .srpm in ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS

To install .rpm package run:
sudo yum localinstall path/to/rpm/package
