In my mind, examples are descriptions, outlines, demonstrations of working principles. As such they don't have to be functional, but should also carry "reasonable" permissions. > So either this guideline is fine or the idea that examples shouldn't drag in > new deps is where the flaw lies. Neither. Simply ignore all files below %docdir or if you really insist on it, all %doc'ed files, dependency-wise. In other words, In my view, the cause of all this is rpmbuild taking %doc into account for dependency tracking.
