fedora packaging: Inclusion of license(s) in fedora packages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

If a project source code contain license files we need to include those files using
%license macro. If package splits into multiple packages then which sub package
must have license files ? It might be confusing so I will try to explain scenario.
Usually when devel package is installed it installs main package with it.  So whenever 
user install main package or devel package they get  license files by default if included
in main package. But for example if a package splits into main, libs, and devel package
and user can just install libs package without actually installing devel and main package
then at that point code is distributed without license. What needs to be done in such 
cases ? Is it required to embed license in each sub-package ?
