Just use %doc to place the files in %{_docdir}, e.g. %doc doc/* If the files that should be placed in %doc don't exist in the buildroot, you can move them there in %install, e.g. make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} # Move the documentation here mv %{buildroot}%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version} installeddocs %files %doc installeddocs/* -- Jussi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
