Thanks for pointing that out. That would cause all sorts of littering. Maybe we should push a patch to upstream distutils that includes directories or a more well-rounded approach that includes file options. --rpm-record or something would be a neat option to setup.py. I was going to recommend this one liner: sed 's/\(.*\.pyo\)/%ghost \1/' < INSTALLED_FILES > INSTALLED_FILES.ghostbusted %files -f INSTALLED_FILES.ghostbusted %doc README INSTALL LICENSE %dir %{_libdir}/python?.?/site-packages/blah %dir %{_libdir}/python?.?/site-packages/blah/subblah But, the '%files -f' directive doesn't process %ghost as of RPM 4.3.1. Oh well, it's just more disk space anyway... still not convinced we absolutely need to ghost pyo files. thanks, -- -jeff
