The %doc arguments are directly passed as arguments to "cp -fr" or so AFAIK, so there is no way to use %exclude there. Try to use shell-style regexps to minimize the list. I've used this trick in the past and it usually is doable, e.g. something like: %files %doc README-[a-oq-z]* README-perhaps-something-else.txt %files package %doc README-package.txt P.S. Be aware of locale-specific ordering. I think the expressions are evaluated with LANG=C, so [a-c] does not include "B" (luckily), while in UTF-8 locales it does. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
