I created my own RPM for OSSEC. What I did, I downloaded the latest
snapshot from mercurial, and run the install.sh on a test machine.
Once installed, I created a tarball of the ossec directory and used it to
create a RPM.
In my case, the application has to be under /apps.
Here is my spec file:
%define name ossec
%define release 2
%define version 26
%define prg ossec
%define appsdir /apps
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-buildroot

Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
Prefix: /
Autoreq: 0

Packager: InfoSec
Provides: ossec

So far, it has been working very well for me. I can use this RPM to be
deployed through our puppet infrastructure.
And with 2.6, autoregistration is a very nice feature to have.
I created RPM for x86_64 and i386 RHEL/CentOS 5 machines.
I hope it helps.
