But if you do install files with "make install" (or any other command than %doc) you must add the files to a (sub) package by adding it to a %files section - either directly or as part of a glob or directory. The error you see is caused by not adding those files. So one way to solve this for the rt package is to add %pkgdocdir/* to the %files section. Unfortunately this packaging error has been hidden by a bug until now that adds all files in %{_pkgdocdir} to the (sub) package if %doc is used in the %files section. This is clearly wrong for a number of reasons: 1) It creates an error about unrelated files if you remove the %doc directives 2) It adds files to a package it may not belong into if the files should actually go into a different sub package. 3) It hides the error message for files erroneously copied into the %{_pkgdocdir} For the case that there are too many other packages with this problem this need obviously handled in a proper way. We already have some code to keep the packages building and just issue a warning. But I am not sure if this is really the way to go. If there is just a small number packages affected fixing those and getting rid of the whole issue seems like a better and easier way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
