The "Maximum RPM" book is excellent, and there are dozens of examples
of my work over at https://github.com/nkadel/ The
https://github.com/nkadel/prebuilt-jboss-7.x-srpm example may be
particularly helpful, it just bundles an upstream zip file.

Once you hae some basic files, grab one of my 'Makefiles' and run
'make build' to build it locally, or 'make' to build it with "mock"
and get a very clean RPM built from the current upstream RPM's without
any locally modified libraries.
