You can use the command line utility rpmbuild to package applications.
checkout the man pages for the all the options
man rpmbuild

Also here is a web page that has the man pages about rpmbuild
http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/rpmbuild8.html

Here is just one HowTo that I found using Google
http://genetikayos.com/code/repos/rpm-tutorial/trunk/rpm-tutorial.html

If you want any more tutorials , then use rpmbuild + howto as the search
string in Google.
