Problem using mkrpm

[ArcosCom Linux User]

Have I to generate the rpm manually? I stand from man that with mkrpm it
takes the template and generate it (perhaps is a miss-standing because my
english isn't fine).

I had been looking for an option as that, but not found in help and man.
Perhaps is that option not included in doc?

Good work Matt, thanks!!

Regards
