While I agree with calling this a mistake, just ignoring rules that one doesn't like will not allow us to build even a barely consistent distribution. Filing bugs would be quite appropriate. That said, I'd love Fedora to be significantly consistent in more important matters than paths in a spec file that have exactly zero effect on users in the best case[1]. Mirek [1] Note that just moving the files may not be good enough - the package may need to add an explicit Provides:/non-usr-path and keep it for an indefinite time. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
