Re: insert a file into a binary rpm - how?

Ideally could someone tell/hint/suggest me how I append the added files into the rpm?

If this isn't even possible, can someone at least tell me how I can edit the rpm database (in Berkeley DB format?) so that (1) the new manually added file would appear belonging to the rpm and (2) a "rpm -e" will erase the files as well?

The easiest thing for you to do is to simply create a separate rpm package, that installs the files you want, rather than screwing around with the binary rpm database, and end up hosing your entire system.
