How do I install an entire directory under /var with rpm

[Michael Barto]

I am at total confused. Look though several example, to try to create a 
spec file to install some simple shell scripts in a specified directory 
location (e.g. /var/q-statusLinux) to collect data (no compiled program 
required). I can update the package registered, but can not make rpm 
install the program. I want to more this around on several servers. Here 
is my simple spec file. What Am I missing?

My tar-gz file for the spec file consist of the entire directory with 
the collection scripts, I wish to install (e.g. 
q-StatusLinux-5.10.tar.gz). I want this code directory installed under 
/var (e.g. /var/q-statusLinux). Can rpm do this or does it only work 
with c-code?  If it can how do I make this happen?
