emacs - the Fedora emacs comes with a plugin to ease writing spec  
files.
IE - emacs something.spec
You'll have a template to work from.

rpmlint - from Fedora Extras (pre) - you can run it on your src.rpm to  
make sure it's clean.

GnuPG - for signing packages

> 2. Admin rpm distros (Fedora)

createrepo - used to create the metadata header files needed for  
(current) yum

yum, apt, smart - all good pieces of software for managing a systems  
packages. I don't think smart does gpg checking so maybe that's out.
