Well, that's clear now. I built my package now and rpmls says the following (which looks good to me): $ rpmls yanone-tagesschrift-fonts-20050524-1.fc10.noarch.rpm lrw-r--r-- /etc/fonts/conf.d/64-yanone-tagesschrift.conf -rw-r--r-- /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/64-yanone-tagesschrift.conf drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/fonts/yanone-tagesschrift -rw-r--r-- /usr/share/fonts/yanone-tagesschrift/YanoneTagesschrift.ttf but rpmlint has 2 warning for me: yanone-tagesschrift-fonts.noarch: W: no-documentation yanone-tagesschrift-fonts.noarch: W: symlink-should-be-relative /etc/fonts/conf.d/64-yanone-tagesschrift.conf /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/64-yanone-tagesschrift.conf How to handle them? Thank you in advance! Paul
