My question was if the important part was to have > these files marked %doc, or to have them placed in %_defaultdocdir. I mean, > not only %defaultdocdir files are marked %doc. Except in specific or rare cases (info files, man pages, /usr/share/gnome/help/ files, latex/tex doc) doc files should indeed go in defaultdocdir. > Rpmlint warnings actually increased with this change.

Not all the > example code is C code, but some is perl. Rpmlint also complains about the > dependencies these perl scripts in the documentation directory have on perl > modules. My personnal point of view is that these warnings are not an issue if these dependencies are already package dependencies. Otherwise you can chmod a-x the scripts to avoid them being executable and having dependencies extracted. The user should know how to run the scripts. -- 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
