Building RPMs question

Hi all !
Need help with building RPM packages. Here's my problem:
Previously, I used Apache RPMs from FalseHope, created by Henri Gomez.
They're actually pretty good, but because of a bug in Apache 2.0.47, and
the impending deployment of a web service I'm working on, I need the
latest 2.0.48 version. I can get the latest from Fedora Core updates,
but personally, I don't trust Red Hat's versions of Apache.
I can get the tarballs and compile it, but I need an RPM package
because someone else is going to maintain the server after I finish
setting it up. So, I was wondering how I could build an RPM package
specifically for Apache. I've been googling last night to search for
tutorials on RPMs, but so far, the docs are either too old (RPM v3.x
mostly), or for other distributions. Ideally, if there's a web tutorial
on building RPMs, that would be great !
So, my question is : does anybody know of any good resources for
building rpm packages?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
pascal chong
