Regarding the case at hand, in case someone's thinking about submitting an RFE somewhere, FWIW Mandriva has had macros for installing and removing info files for a long time, they're defined as: %__install_info /sbin/install-info %_extension .bz2 %_install_info() if [[ -f %{_infodir}/%{1}%{_extension} ]];then %{__install_info} %{_infodir}/%{1}%{_extension} --dir=%{_infodir}/dir;fi \ %{nil} %_remove_install_info() if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then if [[ -f %{_infodir}/%{1}%{_extension} ]];then %{__install_info} %{_infodir}/%{1}%{_extension} --dir=%{_infodir}/dir --remove ;fi; fi \ %{nil} The naming (%_extension, %_remove_install_info) is unfortunate and other nitpicks could be said, but perhaps these are useful as a starting point. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
