General

How do I mark a file as config?

Use the configuration option in the Mapping.

How do I create softlinks as part of the RPM?

Use the softlink source option in the Mapping. This will create the soft link in %install and list the link in the %files.

How can I provide multiple rpms (i.e. different architectures) from one project (pom)?

Set the packaging type to pom and use multiple executions of the attached-rpm goal.

In each execution, you need to define a unique classifier.

Can I access the calculated project version and release attributes?

Yes! The version goal will set the calculated version and release to properties. This goal will execute by default as part of the default rpm build lifecycle (for project or packaging type of rpm).
