Seriously? Where to start? Where to stop? $ rpmls filesystem|grep ^d|wc -l 15733 Today you add directories for Emacs, tomorrow you add directories for even further packages that are in the same problem space? Please! Sometimes -filesystem subpackages contain versioned directories. You cannot predict what will be necessary. I can understand creating filesystem packages for directories with very special ownership and permissions, but not the common (755,root,root) case. It is not a big deal to include them in multiple packages. And perhaps one day RPM will do something about directory ownership on-the-fly, too. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
