Nathan, You will also find more verbose details in the doc located on www.rpm.org. "RPM at Idle", and definitely "Maximum RPM", have more details on specifics of RPM building. I know I have found excellent details on diff, as it applies to RPM building specifically, there.
Check out: http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/build-it.html there is a little more detail than Charlie's doc there. I will say, once you get the details down, you will probably end up referring to Charlie's howto as a reference. I like Charlie's concise doc, plus his excellent quick steps on building in your home directory (not root in /usr/src). I usually only mod my RPMs every couple of months, so always go back to his doc as a reference for the things that have slipped my mind.
