With this we've reached the point once more where the default %doc dir is a poor choice, because it is based on the subpackage's %{name} instead of the src.rpm's or base package's %{name}. For the common tools'n'library split of a package, the changed guidelines duplicate the license files by storing them in two different directories when using %doc: /usr/share/doc/name-1.0/COPYING /usr/share/doc/name-libs-1.0/COPYING -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
