removed when this package is removed. This file is not required to
exist at either install or uninstall time.
+The %exclude subdirective permit to exclude files and directories
+from inclusion in a package (i.e. "everything but"). Its primary use
+is to simplify the writing the list of objects in %files when
+using subpackage. Note that %exclude is different from a ipotetical
+%ignore subattribute: it is always required that the file(s) excluded
+but present in buildroot are referenced in some else subpackage %files
+section: if this is not what you want then they should be eliminated
+from the buildroot in %install.
+
The %config(noreplace) indicates that the file in the package should
be installed with extension .rpmnew if there is already a modified file
with the same name on the installed machine.
