There would be an overlap there. Given this snippet: %files -f ruby.files ... %files devel -f ruby-devel.files I speculate (since the rpm manual is not very helpful on the matter) that if --target= is not specified then the first file command will execute but not the third and include all of the files listed in ruby.files only whereas if --target=devel is specified to the rpmbuild command then the first and second commands will execute and include the contents of ruby.files and ruby-devel.files. Is my understanding of this correct or in what matter is it defective? Regards, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
