Hi,
I need to have some different settings(like NAMEDATALEN etc.)
and that's why I'm trying to build postgres from the source and to
create an rpm to be send for install.

Now, the build works fine but, I don't see a way to create an RPM.

I'll greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Kul

You should take a look at mock,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock. I wrote up a short intro
to this a little while ago. You can read it here:
http://byrnejb.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/building-ruby-1-9-3-for-centos-6-3/

Although the example is not postgresql the process remains much the
same on any RHEL derived distro regardless of the package.

Good luck.

Here is how we build the community RPMs:

* Fetch patches and spec files from SVN. For example:

http://svn.pgrpms.org/browser/rpm/redhat/9.2/postgresql/EL-6/

* Add any patches to spec file:

http://svn.pgrpms.org/browser/rpm/redhat/9.2/postgresql/EL-6/postgresql-9.2.spec#L89

* Build the RPM.

You can add your own patches, and build your own RPMs like this.

Here is also a post written by Devrim describing how to do that more in details:
