It is 6am and I am delirious, but I can tell you this much: there is no
%magic_directive because there is no need for it. :) The %files
section should contain paths to files *as you want them to be
installed*. For example:
%files
/etc/file1.conf
/usr/local/bin/some_file
/usr/local/doc/some_file.txt
These files are found and packaged by RPM relative to %{buildroot} which
you specify via the BuildRoot tag in the spec file. %{buildroot} is a
fake root path where the files are temporarily installed (before RPM
packages them up). In your case this is /home/my_user/template_dir.
I believe Max RPM speaks about this.
Good luck.
krjw.
