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?
