Use option -i when running rpmlint. It just warns about these files. These executables are stored outside $PATH and in the documentation tree, so there is no reason they need to be +x. Such a warning is good, because it can happen that doc files are +x by mistake. Since executable scripts are easier to execute accidentally than non-executable scripts, making them -x is safer. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
