Hi,

I plan to file tickets(bugs) to notify packagers of including INSTALL
files in RPMs. I think we don't have the needs to ship these files for
install instructions.

Any ideas? If all you agree I will start doing it now.

May be you can consider to add rpmlint warning? Just thinking loud ...

rpmlint has had the 'install-file-in-docs' warning for a long time:

"A file whose name suggests that it contains installation instructions
 is included in the package.  Such instructions are often not relevant
 for already installed packages; if this is the case for this file and
 it does not contain any information that is of interest after the
 package has been built and installed, do not include the file in the
 binary package."
