You don't need source to make an rpm. You can simply use an rpm as an
organized way to distribute and keep track of files that are installed.

Plug the PC into a stable power source, let the same PC monitor the UPS.
Unplug the UPS and place a load on it, watch what it instructs the PC to
do :)

# yum list \*winpower\*
# yum list \*win\*
# yum list \*win\* |grep -i

Two quick and simple questions; I want to install the "WinPower"
software for my new UPS. On their web site, they have a tar.gz file
available for download. I know the reasons for staying with RPM, if at
