rpm packaging a web application software to run on nginx

[Styopa Semenukha]

Hello Doruk,

Package manager should not undertake creating _usable_ configuration, this is 
configuration manager prerogative. The PM must create a sample configuration 
("Welcome to Nginx").

I would declare your conf file as %doc, then rpmbuild will put it to 
/usr/share/doc/%{name}-%{version}/

Experienced users will see it and fit to their needs. Beginners will ignore it 
and copy-paste configs from forums anyway :)
