I have quite a few custom modules that I package, and I have a template 
spec file that I use, but it does leave a few installation steps out, so 
I have to finish up manually (mainly just making the module visible to 
those users who need to see it).  So, a script to auto-generate would be 
cool.

But perhaps rather than sending via email, you should post it to the 
devel page?  I guess I'm not the only one making RPMs of custom modules 
on a regular basis.

Thanks for the quick reply.
