I would like to try this but do not know how and where to insert this.

The file 'file.list.bbconf' is generated "automagically" as follows:

-----------------
# Build the file-list automagically :)
cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
find . -type d | grep -v include | sed '1,2d;s,^\.,\%attr(-\,root\,root) \%dir ,' > $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name}
find . -type f | grep -v include | sed 's,^\.,\%attr(-\,root\,root) ,' >> $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name}
find . -type l | grep -v include | sed 's,^\.,\%attr(-\,root\,root) ,' >> $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name}

%pre

%post -p /sbin/ldconfig


%postun -p /sbin/ldconfig


%clean
rm -rf ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}
rm ../file.list.%{name}


%files -f ../file.list.%{name}
%defattr(-,root,root)
%doc README README.html TODO NEWS AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog
------------------

I would appreciate it very much if you could give some concrete
suggestions. (I suppose a straightforward solution is to delete
the "automagic" (find/grep/sed) part and just simply list the files).

But I would much prefer a small addition to the above.
