Primitive use of rpm

[Rick Hedin]

Hello all.

One group at my organization likes rpm, and one prefers a bunch of files
and a shell script.  I haven't been able to change their mind, so I am
making an rpm that puts almost of the functionality in a shell script.
That way the rpm-liking group can run the rpm, and get the nice tracking
benefits, and the rpm-disliking group can use rpm2cpio, extract the files,
and proceed in their preferred fashion.

I am having trouble getting my rpmbuild to work, though.  All I have in my
spec file is a pre-amble that contains name, version, and release, plus
several Sourcex definitions and a BuildRoot definition, and an install
section that contains the name of the install shell script.  This should be
a very straightforward spec file, that people have done before.  What am I
missing?
