honestly I haven't looked into how data_files works that much either :)

Great, thank you!

For quite some time I am working on packaging MediaGoblin and distribute
it as an RPM. Due to the strict dependency versions I've had quite some
issues in my efforts. 

Currently only available for openSUSE Leap 15.3 but other distro builds
can be configured too (Arch, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu):
* mediagoblin user and group creation
* systemd service files for celery and paste
* log files in /var/log/mediagoblin
* and more..

openSUSE's Open Build Service (OBS) instance where the whole magic happens:
* https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:eroca/mediagoblin

For Leap 15.3 run the following as root to add the repository and install:

zypper addrepo
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:eroca/15.3/home:eroca.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install mediagoblin

To use Leap in a docker container, use the official images:
* in a Dockerfile: FROM registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/leap:15.3

Let me know what you think.

Regards,
Eli
