From rpmrebuild's website:

rpmrebuild is a tool to build an RPM file from a package that has already been installed
in a basic use, rpmrebuild use do not require any rpm building knowledge
(On debian, the equivalent product is dpkg-repack)

This package allows modifying packages, generating .spec files based on package contents, etc. In other words, it is useful for development of Sailfish packages on Sailfish devices.
Note: the package is taken verbatim from upstream.

Thank you very much! Works fine and also an amateur like me could build an rpm file from a tweaked Sailfish app and install on another phone successfully on the first try.

Do you accept donations? Long ago, I promised 20 Euros for the person who will develop this...

Unfortunately it wasn't me who developed this tool: I only packaged it, slightly modified to fit Jolla. See rpmrebuild project page for details on authors.

Excellent! I waited so long for this.

I had a problem though, this is what I get for my first try (same result with devel-su):
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ rpmrebuild harbour-solarsystem
setarch: armv7hl: Unrecognized architecture
/usr/lib/rpmrebuild/rpmrebuild.sh: ERROR: package 'harbour-solarsystem' build failed

Any help appreciated.

Updated version contains a crude workaround.

Indeed setarch does not allow armv7hl. I'll look into fixing this.

As a workaround you may use rpmrebuild to generate a .spec file, and then use rpmbuild to build package.
