There are going to be many pear packages which share a directory such as Auth/ or Image/ or Net/ etc. The simple rule of thumb in this case is that if there is no clear heirarchy of directory ownership, then all packages must own that directory. This should be added to the PHP packaging guidelines since this goes against the Fedora Extras guidelines which state that the package must not own files or directories owned by other packages. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
