Hi all,
WRT subject: before I go to file a bug report I want to make sure I'm
not exploiting something unsupported in rpmbuild.
In a couple of rpms (for which we're also upstream and I'm managing
them, so it's fairly easy for me to "workaround" the issue) I have
license saved in file with space, e.g. "CC-BY-SA 3.0". In the spec I
have a %%doc looking like this:
%doc CC-BY-SA\ 3.0 Attribution
I've seen Panu commenting on it before, so I've searched a bit:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-January/176565.html
Yup. Rpm >= 4.11 does not (and is unlikely to ever to) support all the
shell-quoting styles that accidentally worked in older versions.
Rpm >= 4.10.3 supports double-quoting in %doc so in Fedora >= 18 you can
now use
%doc "CC-BY-SA 3.0 Attribution"
...but if you need spec compatibility across all Fedora (and RHEL)
versions, whitespace in %doc needs to be worked around with globs.
Guess I should backport the double-quoting support to F17 too to allow
consistency within the currently active Fedora versions.
