It's as follows: %doc /some/file includes /some/file in the package and marks it as documentation. %docdir /some/path/ /some/path/file1 /some/path/file2 /some/path/file3 can save you a few %doc attributes. It is equivalent to: %doc /some/path/file1 %doc /some/path/file2 %doc /some/path/file3 However, it does not include a directory entry for /some/path (rpm -qlpv would not show the ^d entry for /some/path). You would need to include the directory separately. There is the much shorter form %doc /some/path/ which includes the directory /some/path and additionally marks every file in it as documentation. It is equivalent to: %dir /some/path/ %doc /some/path/* However, it also doesn't mark the directory /some/path as %doc, just all ordinary files in it. So, in %docdir /some/path/ %doc /some/path/ the %docdir line is superfluous. Using %docdir can be helpful, if you don't include a full tree of files, but specific file names as above in the file1, file2, file3 case (where the build of an update would break if files are missing). Of course, you can mark each file %doc instead and achieve the same thing. ;) -- 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. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
