RHEL5 probably comes with git 1.5.something, and its spec file won't work nicely with git 1.6.x (because of new install locations).

git source comes with a spec file template. If you have a git checkout (or source tree) then "make git.spec" will generate it.

It does not generate a gitweb subpackage, but you only need to add a few lines, following the example of the archimport package, say.

Or, even simpler: Just take the srpm from Fedora 10 and rebuild (gitweb is a subpackage of git in F10, so you need the git srpm (e.g. 'yumdownloader --source gitweb' on an F10 instance). Installing the srpm (as non-root) gives you the spec, I'm sure you know ;)
