Ah yes, google is the only available search facility...

Hmm... You may be right on that. These might be needed:

%_initdir       %{_sysconfdir}/rc.d/init.d
%_varlibdir     %{_localstatedir}/lib
%_varcachedir   %{_localstatedir}/cache
%_logdir                %{_localstatedir}/log
%_rundir                %{_localstatedir}/run
%_subsysdir     %{_localstatedir}/lock/subsys
%_sysconfigdir  %{_sysconfdir}/sysconfig
%_logrotatedir  %{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.d
