If all you agree I will start doing it now. NAK, bad idea Many INSTALL files contain valuable information potentially beyond just how to build and install the project. At times it can also be very helpful to understand how the RPM packaging may have deviated from the generic instructions or may have applied specific configuration to the generic installation instructions. If the packager felt it was valuable to include the INSTALL file then I see no point in mindlessly overriding their discretion and experience. -- John -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
