The best way to go about this would be to make a rpm. Here is a very
simple spec for foo 1.0 that has only one file:

Name:           foo
Version:        1
Release:        1%{?dist}
Summary:        This is foo

Group:        Applications/System
License:    GPL
URL:        http://foo.org/
Source0:    foo-1.0.tgz
BuildRoot:
%{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

BuildRequires:    somepackage
Requires:    what, packages, it, needs, to, run, foo

%description
This is foo. Better then poo.

%prep
%setup -q

%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
install -m 755 foo.file $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/commandfoo

%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%{_bindir}/foo.file

%changelog
* Mon Oct 15 2007 Foo User 1.0-1
- Foo

foo-1.0.tgz will need to have a folder named foo-1.0 (this works out to
%{name}-%{version} with the contents foo.file. You can also do %setup -q
-n thenameofthefolder, but that is up to you. I've not tested this spec,
so let me know if it doesn't work for you.

If you want more help with the packaging, let us know (or read
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/p5208.html) We currently have 2 configuration
options to copy data into the compose tree, but I don't think you can
specify a target like you want (but I might be wrong, I've not looked).

The config options are:

copy_dir =
strip_copy_dir =

hers is part of my spec file for the rpm in question,
I don't create an srpm in the traditional sense,  and I don't
build the srpm to get the noarch rpm, thats way over the top for a shell script rpm
my source rpm is basicly a tar file of the source shell scripts
the no arch rpm is made from the shell scripts that have alreay been install in /usr/local/sh
which has a symbolic link /loc -> /usr/local, in the past I have supported 
sol - solaris section, aix AIX sections, with open solairs I expect the solairs to come back
there will never be an open AIX, or HP-UX but If I ever get them as clients they would

the post section fails because coreutils were not installed before this package
its that simple
