The arbiter of whether Fedora Packaging Guidelines allows non-%doc
files to be installed in /usr/share/doc and other locations [like
what?] is whether or not '--excludedocs' will install the files.
Yes: the intent of the guideline is to "make --excludedocs work".
I imagine the '--excludedocs' argument does not affect files *not*
marked as %doc, even if installed in /usr/share/doc. Could you mean
that, non-%doc files would be installed there despite '--excludedocs' is
a violation of Guidelines?
Restating the question [omitted in the reply]: By Fedora Packaging
Guidelines, are runtime-dependent files (*not* marked as %doc, of
course!) allowed in %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}-%{version}?
"The guidelines are unclear, but --excludedocs is how you determine what they meant to say".
Michael has said that anything in /usr/share/doc is implicitly marked as %doc , so that settles that: The files you are asking about can't exist.
