First it is not appropriated since this tag is only used when a package cannot be build/doesn't work in a particular arch (and it's not the case here ^^). Moreover, you exclude 64-bit users like me who want that very useful package ^^. And finally, there's several packages that have the same issue (I talked about phatch above) and that are arch-specific whereas they don't contain any binary. You should remove ExcludeArch and leave things like this for the arch. of your package :-) Be careful not to mix %{buildroot} and $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in your spec file: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Using_.25.7Bbuildroot.7D_and_.25.7Boptflags.7D_vs_.24RPM_BUILD_ROOT_and_.24RPM_OPT_FLAGS About the doc: since the installer installs itself the files AUTHORS, COPYING and MAINTAINERS to %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}, I suggested before to flag them as %doc by replacing this line in your %files section: %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}/* By %dir %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name} %doc %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}/* (and by this way, the fact that %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name} is not owned by your package is solved). But if you use this like you did: %doc AUTHORS COPYING MAINTAINERS rpmbuild will automatically copy them from your build directory into %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}-%{version} and you'll have duplicate files in your RPM. If you keep « %doc AUTHORS COPYING MAINTAINERS », you should exclude the %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name} directory from being included in RPM by removing it for example in %install ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
