The key is to establish a build root other than /. If your doing this
then you can do something like following in %install:
find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT | while read f
do
# Remove the build root.
$tgtpath=$(echo $f|sed -e "s|^${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}||")
if [ -d $f ]
then
echo "%dir %attrib(555, root, root) ${tgtpath}"
elif [ -x $f ]
then
echo "%attrib(555, root, root) ${tgtpath}"
else
echo "%attrib(444, root, root) ${tgtpath}"
fi
done > "%{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/files.dat"
Then at the %files you would do:
%files -f %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/files.dat
Now of course this is just some simple bash code that you would
want to expand upon to meet your packages requirements. The main
point is that its simple to make some code that walks the build root
and based on policies you define generates a file to be read in
by %files which defines what files should be in your package.
One tool that may be helpful, if you want to just generate your spec
file is RPM::Specfile (see it on cpan). I use this to generate
spec files for rpmdb rpms of my company's distro.
