https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961237 --- Comment #12 from Michael Schwendt <bugs.michael@xxxxxxx> --- In general, docs get installed where _you_ install them or where the software package installs them. However, if you use %doc in a %files list, it does two different things depending on what files you apply it to. For local files in the build dir, it copies them to %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version} whereas when applying %doc to absolute paths, it just marks files as being Documentation files (e.g. for RPM queries or --excludedocs installations). For Fedora 20, things have changed, and %doc will copy to %{_docdir}/%{name} without the trailing version. Check out: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UnversionedDocdirs When using %doc for the files of a subpackage, %{name} will be the subpackage name. So, in a -doc subpackage, %doc installs into: %{_docdir}/%{name}-doc-%{version} Unversioned for F20, of course. Some packagers don't like the multiple doc dirs that are the result of using %doc in subpackages. They install everything themselves during %install into a single directory (versioned or not), and files below %_docdir are marked %doc automatically, too.
