In the source tree there is a Packageing subfolder.

I run this nightly to build RPMS from the current CVS snapshot.
------
#!/bin/sh

SAMBA_VERSION="2.2.2"
SAMBA_RELEASE=`date +%Y%m%d`
PREFIX="/usr/local/src/"
SAMBA_SOURCE="${PREFIX}/samba"

set -e

if [ -n "$1" ] ; then
        set -x
fi

cd ${SAMBA_SOURCE}
cvs update -d -P
cd ${PREFIX}

[ -d  samba-${SAMBA_VERSION} ] && rm -rf samba-${SAMBA_VERSION}

cp -a samba samba-${SAMBA_VERSION}
cd samba-${SAMBA_VERSION}/packaging/RedHat
patch < ${PREFIX}/samba2.spec.tmpl.patch 
cd ..
bin/update-pkginfo ${SAMBA_VERSION} ${SAMBA_RELEASE}
cd RedHat/
sh makerpms.sh
------

The You'd prolly just need:
cd <sambasource>/packaging
bin/update-pkginfo 2.2.2 0.1
cd RedHat/
sh makerpms.sh

Then you should end up with:
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/samba-2.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm

laughing :)

Yours Tony.
