Let me ask this again (may be it wasn't formulated clean):
Everything is understandable for me about permissions and paths, but
what about owner and group ? What will be shown in my case after installing the package (as root) and implementing the specified
"ls -l" command :
ptsimmer dev
OR
root root
Thanks.

An obscure reference to the old saying
I'm from Missouri, so you have to show me.

Yup. After installing the package (as root), the permissions should be as
desired. However, the paths after install will be as mentioned in the %files,
without the leading $RPM_BUILD_ROOT component.
