The vxl-doc subpackage contains only this tiny file: /usr/share/doc/vxl/vxl_copyright.h I've visited old builds in koji, and it had started like that. Why is it? Where is "all the documentation"? In the source code I see a core/doc/ tree. This ought to be re-reviewed, since such a -doc package doesn't make sense. [...] Unrelated issues: * The -doc package ought not depend on the base package, so it can really be installed without pulling in any dependencies, * Defining BuildRoot and cleaning it in %install is not needed anymore. * The %clean section is not needed anymore. * The Group tag of the base package ought to be "System Environment/Libraries" for a libs package like this. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22 Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Duplicate documentation files have been detected in the package builds for Rawhide and Fedora 20. The likely cause is the unversioned docdirs change in Fedora 20. If your package %installs documentation files into %{_docdir}/%{name}/ to store them in a subpackage, this now conflicts with using the %doc macro in the base package. Since Fedora 20, the %doc macro installs into the unversioned %{_docdir}/%{name}/ and includes everything in that directory. One obvious fix is to decide between either using %doc or installing into %{_docdir}/%{name}/ manually as explained in the Packaging tricks Wiki section (for past dist releases and the versioned docdir).
