Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding anything
the first method I tried that didn't work was `build [contrib] 
tkgate-1.8.5-1ark.src.rpm`
then I tried this which didn't work either `build contrib 
tkgate-1.8.5-1ark.src.rpm`
and finally I gave up and ran `build tkgate-1.8.5-1ark.src.rpm`

Am I correct in assuming that I should have run `build 
tkgate-1.8.5-1ark.src.rpm contrib` exactly as you see it here?

I'm sure someone would know how to move the package over, its my first 
time building an RPM for ark and uploading one so I figured I would make 
some kind of mistake, fortunately once I get this cleared up and learn 
how to make patch files for RPMs that will leave me with enough 
information to do a better job on my next RPM.

BTW, are there going to be any meetings over IRC any time soon, I'd like 
to know more of the developers and find out more about how Ark is 
currently doing and where its going, right now I feel very out of the 
loop and have no idea whatsoever of what Ark's aim is as a distribution, 
what goals are to be met, what priority tasks still need to be done, 
where help is needed etc... and I'd also like to meet more of the Ark 
developers over IRC so I have a better idea of who is who and hopefully 
learn as much as I can from them in order to better contribute.
