Hi Petr,
The %files block is by far the trickiest part of an RPM spec
file. (That makes sense though because when it comes to
properly fitting F/OSS software to a specific platform,
%files is also one of the most important parts.) Anyway,
you're probably modeling the verve plugin after
xfce-mcs-plugins.spec. So in an effort to help, and maybe
generate some FAQ content for this topic, below is a
description breakdown of each line of the %files block of
xfce-mcs-plugins.spec. Laca, Doug, other spec file gurus,
please advise of any improvements or corrections.

# Sets default attributes
%dir %attr (0755, root, bin) %{_libdir}
# This packages delivers a directory called /usr/lib (with the
# attributes shown)
%dir %attr (0755, root, sys) %{_datadir}
# This package also delivers a directory called /usr/share. Note
# the override of the default group attribute from bin to sys.
%{_libdir}/xfce4*
# This package also delivers files and possibly directories and
# more files rooted at /usr/lib that match the wildcard
# expression "xfce4*".
%{_datadir}/xfce4*
# (same as above, except rooted at /usr/share)
%{_datadir}/xfce-mcs-plugins*
# (same as above, except matching wildcard "xfce-mcs-plugins*")
%defattr(-,root,other)
# Change the default group attribute (from bin to other)
%{_datadir}/locale*
# This package also delivers files and possibly directories and
