prepare your .rpmmacros environment, rpmbuild directories, if not exist yet
$ mkdir rpmbuild
$ mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS,tmp}
Create .rpmmacros file
$ vi .rpmmacros
%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild %_tmppath %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild/tmp
[p>Extract xtables-addons-1.24.tar.bz2, cd to xtables-addons-1.24 directory
$ tar xjf xtables-addons-1.24.tar.bz2 $ cd xtables-addons-1.24

%description
Xtables is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the tables of IP
packet filter rules in the Linux kernel.
Xtables-addons is the successor to patch-o-matic(-ng). Likewise, it
contains extensions that were not, or are not yet, accepted in the
main kernel/iptables packages.

Save it
Now, bzip it back as xtables-addons-1.24.tar.bz2 tarball
$ cd .. $ tar cjf xtables-addons-1.24.tar.bz2 xtables-addons-1.24
Build xtables-addons-1.24.tar.bz2
$ rpmbuild -ta xtables-addons-1.24.tar.bz2
If there’s nothing gone wrong you’ll have 3 rpm files, here’s what i got on my system, your path should be different than mine
