The files section of my spec-file looks like this:

%files
%{prefix}/htdocs/
%config %{prefix}/htdocs/share/settings/config.inc.php

Now, since the config file is already included in the %{prefix}/htdocs/ line I get the warning 'File listed twice'.

One way around would be, to list every single file within %{prefix}/htdocs/, except the config file.

But my question is: Is there a better way around this issue, than listing all files?

Unfortunately not. RPM is quite oldschool software, but works fine :-)

But you can use globs too:

%files
%{prefix}/htdocs/*.png
%{prefix}/htdocs/*.html

etc.

This will enable you to include all the rest without some other files you do not want there. That's the way how RPM packagers do it usually.
