This is what I normally recommend for people who are not extremely familiar with .spec files. It gives you a (hopefully) known working example to start with. A lot of times, just tweaking the version numbers and removing unnecessary patches are all that is needed. But, there is a lot more that could be necessary, so be careful.

Possibly difficult, but easier than starting from scratch.
