[SOLVED] Generating an RPM to also run "make" and "make install"

Issue

I want to install redis by creating a rpm. I want to run all the commands that need to happen:

tar xvzf redis-3.2.1.tar.gz
cd redis-3.2.1/
make
make test
make install

Is there any documentation on creating a .spec file to do this?

Solution

While you can write a *.spec file from scratch, it is usually easier to modify an existing *.rpm. E.g. you can often easily upgrade to redis-3.2.1 from the existing resist-3.0.6 package here: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/source/tree/Packages/r/redis-3.0.6-3.fc24.src.rpm
