Actually going along with you question 2, I encountered this same 
problem and it was because I was searching for what you searched for 
with the .rpm extension at the end (statsd-0.7.1-1.fc20.noarch.rpm). Try 
running the search without the .rpm and it should appear.

Question: I was wondering if we should use the %config and %doc macros 
for the %files section? The only reason I ask is because I created 
directories before I found these macros and when uninstalling the 
package, it leaves some of the directories behind. I think I may have 
found a solution by simply using the %dir macro to claim the directories 
I created. So it would then include the directory as owned by the 
package and it would leave the config and doc files to be managed by the 
package, but then again for the documentation, is it usually only the 
README and LICENSE that are marked as documentation and the rest is just 
copied? The guide I used said that any documentation that wasn't copied 
over during the build section is marked as documentation. So should that 
only be the README and LICENSE file, as shown in the example in their 
guide, or should it be all documentation that statsd includes as well 
for various components?

Thanks again,
John Scire
