RE: File listed twice

["Jeffrey Sherwin" <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One more question:

How come when I list the following directory under %files:

/usr/local/foo

RPM starts looking for those files under the $RPM_BUILD_DIR? Because of
this, I have actually had to modify my script to build everything in
$RPM_BUILD_DIR/usr/local/foo and then copy it all over to /usr/local/foo
at the end of $install.

That can't be correct.

That makes sense. Thanks. The warnings are now all gone. 

I appreciate all of the help.

List only the top-level files and directories your package should
own.  For example, list %{_datadir}/yourapp/ as a directory, not all
its contents.  That way your package will own the directory *and* the
contents.  List files in system directories (e.g., %{_bindir}/yourapp)
individually.  This technique properly delegates file/directory
ownership.
