Newbie question about RPM

Thanks to your help in the past. I have progressed but I still have a few issues to deal with. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My first problem has to do with permissions. When logged on as myself on my own little Linux (Suse) system, if I try to build my binary rpm file I get errors as my install commands can't change permissions in the selected usr-share-man-man7 directory. I removed the -o 0 -g 0 options from install and was able to proceed (but I do not know if that was a good thing to do?) But then when I went to install the resulting .rpm file, I also got errors as it could not lock the rpm database. I could only successfully install when logged on as root. When I was root, the install worked fine. But I do not know if that is reasonable for an end-user. Question: Should I be building as root and should end-users need to be root to install - or am I missing something?

Also, I sent my .rpm file to a friend to try and it complained that ãwarning: user jeff does not exist - using rootä. Which also makes me think that I should have been logged on as root when I built my binary rpm file?? (but lots of doc I have read warns not to do this). So I presume I am doing something wrong here.

Note that there is nothing to build so my %build section is empty. Can I remove it entirely?

Also, I seem to remember seeing some doc about a %noarch directive ö which I think I need here as there is nothing architecture-specific about a handful of doc files. Is there something needed when the rpm is not restricted by any architecture? (i.e. was my memory right and it was %noarch?)

Question about the Copyright: I have seen several sets of doc which lists very specify copyright text and one which said to just use "commercial" for a company's copyrighted material (and the word "commercial" was not in other doc I found about what the copyright line should say). What should I have there?

Anyway, my current spec file is essentially the following - any and all suggestions appreciated:

Install this if you would like man page documentation for abc.

%prep

# Install just copies files into selected man7 directory - create if needed

%install

install -m 755 -o 0 -g 0 -dusr-share-man

install -m 755 -o 0 -g 0 -dusr-share-man-man7

install -m 755 -o 0 -g 0 cob.1usr-share-man-man7-abc.7

%files

%docusr-share-man-man7-abc.7

As before, thanks for all the help!
