We are developing dissectors for our customer’s protocol.

We want to package it as RPM.

Can anybody provide us with spec file from ethereal official RPM?

There is a spec file included with the Ethereal source code in the directory "packaging/rpm/SPECS/".

There's also a top level target for it, so you should be able to do "make rpm-package" to build the RPM (see the top level "INSTALL" file)

Note that this spec file is different from that of some (all?) Linux distributions. If you want a setup similar to Redhat's, for example, I'd suggest you go grab one of their SRPMs and pull the spec file from that.
