Various rpms contain something like this in the spec file;
%files -f ../file.list.%{name}
and build the file list dynamically.
This fails miserably for me; rpm simply cannot file the file list with my
settings.
I've fiddled around of & on for months trying to find a generic solution
that works; thus far I've failed.
I examined my rpmmacros file and hit on this:
%files -f %{buildroot}/file.list.%{name}
This fails too:
+ sed -e 's,^\.,\%attr(-\,root\,root) ,' -e '/\/config\//s|^|%config|'
+ find . -type l
+ sed 's,^\.,\%attr(-\,root\,root) ,'
+ echo '%docdir /usr/doc/kde'
+ echo /tmp/Bkdevelop/file.list.kdevelop
/tmp/Bkdevelop/file.list.kdevelop
+ pwd
/tmp/Bkdevelop
+ ls -l /tmp/Bkdevelop/file.list.kdevelop

As you can see (don't inspect too closely, I cut & pasted the filename),
the file exists before and after rpm could not find it.
I've been plugging away at it all afternoon; at over 20 minutes plus
thinking time for each run I'm getting a little annoyed.
Any clues for the clueless?
btw This is a new beta of kdevelop - it hadn't hit the mirrors when I
picked it up a couple of days ago.
For now, I think I'll wimp out and do it manually.
