https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1084813 --- Comment #17 from Michael Schwendt <bugs.michael@xxxxxxx> --- > %dir %{_datadir}/%{name}/help > %{_datadir}/%{name}/help/ > > Is the %dir required here? It isn't. The second line includes the directory *and* everything in it. The %dir line includes only an entry for the directory, not for any of its contents. The real mistake, however, is two lines before that: %dir %{_datadir}/%{name} %{_datadir}/%{name}/* %dir %{_datadir}/%{name}/help %{_datadir}/%{name}/help/* The wildcard line %{_datadir}/%{name}/* also matches %{_datadir}/%{name}/help which includes that directory and its files the first time. You could replace the four lines with just %{_datadir}/%{name}/ or %{_datadir}/%{name} to include that dir and anything below it. The trailing slash is just for readability (to be explicit that the file entry is about a directory tree and not a single data file or such). https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_and_Directory_Ownership -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:UnownedDirectories -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
