The spec file is made and maintained by you.

This dist_conf/mandriva is an important file.  It defines all variables that 
are used to correctly install kolab in a distribution.  If you find any wrong 
directory / file, you should update this file and repackage kolab.  Continue 
this process until the paths are matching the locations that Mandriva uses.
Once you have a correct dist_conf file, ask the kolab devs to commit it to 
cvs, so other mandriva users can benefit from it too.

Hope this helps.
