Here's another %doc change:

%doc doc/Users\ guide\ Apache.html

Gets executed as:

+ cp -pr 'doc/Users
/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/rubygem-passenger-3.0.19-1.fc19.i386/usr/share/doc/mod_passenger-3.0.19'


cp: missing destination file operand after 'doc/Users

Filed http://rpm.org/ticket/858

Thanks for reporting, will fix.

Hmm... turns out it's not quite that simple.

This is actually another case of relying on undocumented behavior: backslash-escaping of spaces has never worked in %files section, it only accidentally "worked" for %doc due to side-effects of how they got passed to shell/cp. Same goes for ''-quoting (as used in the ticket): it only works because of side-effects, not intentionally.

But then, the "official" %files list way of ""-quoting to get around spaces has never worked in any rpm version AFAICT.

*facepalm*

What does work everywhere is globs, eg:

    %doc doc/Users?guide?Apache.html

...so there is a backwards-compatible workaround. And now back to wondering what to do about this mess...
