Hi, I home:plater:kde4/plasmoid-yawp has a new file "%{_kde_share_dir}/apps/ion_accuweather/satellite_map.conf" so I added : "%config %{_kde_share_dir}/apps/ion_accuweather/satellite_map.conf" to the files section, I didn't own the directory but 11.3 gives the same error : <snip> RPM build errors: File must begin with "/": /usr/share/kde4/apps/ion_accuweather/satellite_map.conf
Removing %config and owning the new directory results in a successful build. The bottom line is, I still don't understand "%config" and haven't yet nailed down a place where it's explained properly. The file "satellite_map.conf" isn't meant to be changed by user.
AFAIK %config is only for 'changeable' config-files e.g. /etc/blah, that will get an 'extra' handling on update/upgrading and removal of the package, probable NOT want you want. (It wont be deleted on removal, nor changed on update (the new file will be 'filename.rpmnew') if the file marked with %config is changed since install (see rpm --verify). In this case I'd use a simple entry in %files, as it provides 'just' the base-config (defaults).
