I agree, but some "normal" things (like administering info files, ldconfig, and creating package-specific users) are unavoidable. But: the problem with --excludedocs can be solved easily by just checking in %post whether the info files are present or not. Are there no guidelines about this? If not, shouldn't they be made? I've seen (and reported) this problem already in Red Hat Linux 7.3 (!), so not mnuch seems to have improved since then in this area. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
