The man directory should depend on the installation prefix (e.g. system-packaged applications are compiled and installed with - --prefix=/usr, so their manpages are in /usr/share/man/man*/... -- while the default prefix is normally /usr/local because user-installed applications, by convention, are installed there). The .1 is just because it's a section 1 manpage. If your manpage is for section 2, it'd be in man2/foo.2 . RPM automatically compresses the manpages using gzip when building a binary RPM, thus the .gz -- you don't need (and shouldn't) do that on your own.
