The tarball from http://qtparted.sourceforge.net includes
qtparted-x11.spec.in, which is used to generate a .spec file during the
configure process.

That's the complete %files section:

  %files -f ../file.list.%{name}
                                                                        
       
  %changelog


I assume something needs to be added in there?
