at the synopsis.

I see the problem: you were viewing http://rust.sourceforge.net/crust.html
which has a few typos on it. (In one place the word "crush" is used where
"crust" is actually what is meant.)

At any rate, http://rust.sourceforge.net/crust.html shows


3. Create the RPM

        You can create the RPM with cRUST by calling the program from
        the command line like so
        
                $ crust --makerpm --nomd5 --name myrpm \
                --version 0.1 --release 2 --group \
                "Applications/Text" --license "GNU GPL" \
                --sum "A short summary" --desc "A longer \
                description of the package"
                
                ~/newroot
                

The ~/newroot there is the destination directory. You probably
thought the ~/newroot was unrelated to the 'crust' example command
because of the extra whitespace. (I think that would be an easy
mistake to make.)

                $ crust --makerpm --nomd5 --name myrpm \
                --version 0.1 --release 2 --group \
                "Applications/Text" --license "GNU GPL" \
                --sum "A short summary" --desc "A longer \
                description of the package" ~/newroot
                
is a better way of presenting the example command.
