The OpenPKG Article
This article is a very concise yet comprehensive summary about OpenPKG.

all important issues of OpenPKG in detail and is intended for both for

The Book "Maximum RPM"
There is a
book entitled "Maximum RPM -- Taking the Red Hat Package Manager
to the Limit", written by by Edward C. Bailey in 1997. Is is 442
pages long and covers everything from general RPM usage to building
your own RPMs to programming with rpmlib.
The book was originally available in hardback (ISBN 1888172789) from the
Red Hat Press, however only a paperback version (ISBN 0672311054) is
currently available. The content in both book formats is exactly the
same, and the original LaTeX and Postscript sources are still found on http://www.rpm.org/.
For your convinience we've assembled the material, converted the LaTeX
sources to nice HTML pages via LaTeX2HTML and also produced other
formats. Here are the results:

Documentation Project (LDP) which introduces working with RPM:
