+This folder contains two spec files which enable building of various RPM packages for zerotier.
+
+#zerotier-one.spec.in
+This file contains the information to build an RPM from the bash based binary installer of ZeroTier. The resulting RPM cannot be recompiled to different architecture.
+
+#zerotier.spec
+This spec file is a "standard" RPM spec file which enables building an SRPM package from the ZeroTier sources. This makes possible to compile the software on different architectures in a standard way. The spec file supports two packages: the standard zerotier and the zerotier-controller too. It supports the build options exposed in the original Linux makefile:
+
+rpmbuild -ba zerotier.spec #builds the standard zerotier package, this is what you need in most of the cases
+rpmbuild -ba zerotier.spec --with controller #builds the zerotier-controller package
+rpmbuild -ba zerotier.spec --with debug #builds the zerotier package with debug enabled
+rpmbuild -ba zerotier.spec --with miniupnpc #builds the zerotier package with miniupnpc enabled
+rpmbuild -ba zerotier.spec --with cluster #builds the zerotier package with cluster enabled
+
+
+##Build environment preparation
+As zerotier is not distributed in tar.gz format at the moment, the %prep section of the spec file takes care about this.
