Sure, but the important thing here is to notice that a directory is turnt into a symlink. Once noticed, packager can think twice and reconsider. Changing all relevant programs to access the link target path directly would be one possible solution. %files lists which are overloaded with macros and recursively included trees aren't readable and require packagers to use "rpm -qlv" (or rpmls) to examine packages and understand the contents of a package. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
