--- Comment #8 from Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxx> ---
There seems to be some language barriers. So, let's see:


* Two packages are built:

  svni.noarch
  svni-vim.noarch

* svni-vim "Requires: svni = …"


Therefore the subpackage licensing guidelines apply:

 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Subpackage_Licensing

That means, svni-vim does NOT need to include a copy of the license file
"COPYING" as %doc, because that file is included in the required base package
already.

_If_ svni-vim didn't require the base svni package, it would need to include
the license file as %doc. Per the guidelines.


With regard to the other %doc files (non-license files), there are no other
guidelines that mandate a subpackage dependency of some sort. Except if
documentation files are strictly needed at run-time (for example, if a GUI
contains a menu item to display them), they would need to be handled
appropriately. But that's no issue here.


> License:        GPLv3+

The executable _and_ the manual page say it's "GPLv3". There's no "or later"
clause.
