  That's pretty much the standard drill on how to build a package.
While I agree there is some non-trivial work involved, I really don't
see how it could be drastically simpler: If you're going to build a
package with metadata, you need to have a file that describes the
package.  Otherwise you've just got a ".tar.gz" with binaries inside
it.

  I'm more concerned about how this addresses your original post.

a very different between the "official" Red Hat binaries and the ones
you built yourself.  The article you linked to doesn't seem to have
anything to do with that.  No?
