How to create rpm?

I m referring below article for creating rpm.
Installation and Setup Rpmbuild Tutorial
As per the document i will need rpmdevtools and rpmlint to begin with.

However i have yum installed and whenever i run them i get below output.
Code:
# yum install rpmdevtools rpmlint
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package rpmdevtools available.
No package rpmlint available.
Nothing to do

However i tried using rpm-devel package.
Code:
# yum install rpm-devel
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package rpm-devel-4.4.2.3-9.el5.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Is rpm-devel and rpmdevtools different as i m not able to execute other commands such as rpmdev-setuptree.


Distribution details.
Code:
# lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch
Distributor ID: OracleVMserver
Description:    Oracle VM server release 2.2.0
Release:        2.2.0
Codename:       n/a

Code:
# uname -r
2.6.18-128.2.1.4.9.el5xen

m i heading in right direction?

NAME
debuginfo-install - install debuginfo packages and their dependencies SYNOPSIS
debuginfo-install package DESCRIPTION
debuginfo-install is a program which installs the RPMs needed to debug the specified package. The package argument can be a wildcard, but will only match installed packages. debuginfo-install will then enable any debuginfo repositories, and install the relevant debuginfo rpm. EXAMPLES
Download and install all the RPMs needed to debug the kernel RPM: debuginfo-install kernel WARNING MESSAGES
Could not find debuginfo for: You may sometimes see warning messages about certain packages not being found if you run debuginfo-install for a wildcard or glob. Debuginfo packages are not necessary for "noarch" RPMs; these will generate a warning message. Additionally, On 64-bit systems, no multilib debuginfo packages are published, so if you have 32-bit packages installed, these will also generate warning messages. FILES
As debuginfo-install uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details: /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum/repos.d/ /var/cache/yum/ SEE ALSO
yum.conf (5) http://yum-utils.baseurl.org/ http://yum.baseurl.org/ AUTHORS
See the Authors file included with this program. BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs. James Antill 21 October 2008 debuginfo-install(1)
