This means that every ReaR installation contains everything needed to make a new package (e.g. "rear mkrpm"). This is very important for the ReaR development process which requires the developer to *trash* the development machine for each and every test. So we simply edit the files, do rear mkrpm, copy aside the RPM and try whether ReaR works (e.g. recovers the system). As a result some files exist twice, once in their "source" location under /usr/share/rear and once in their "installed" location (%doc, %mandir). Since the locations for these are not the same throughout all Linux distros it would be difficult to always collect them from their (possibly unknown) installed location prior to creating the RPM. - the files under /etc/rear are all files that the end-user should change to suit their environment. The *.conf files are actual configurations and the other files are templates that are used by ReaR to create for example the readme file that resides on the ReaR Rescue CD or the email that is sent. So yes, they look like a readme and they are in fact a readme but not for ReaR as a package but for the result that ReaR creates (the rescue media). - in /var/rear we create the recovery data which is machine-dependant and obviously not part of the shipped RPM package - /usr/share/rear should be 755, must be a copy bug somewhere or in the SPEC file. We will fix this of course, no question.
