Thank you. I have also symlinked the NEWS file. |
Created attachment 505304 [details] Don't exclude or duplicate COPYING in the RPM spec Description of problem: The file /usr/share/emacs/%{version}/etc/COPYING is excluded from the RPM (used instead as documentation), but the commands describe-no-warranty and describe-copying fail if it is not present. While it does not interfere with daily usage, it does make the package appear a bit broken--particularly because those two commands are used on the default buffer. Steps to Reproduce: C-h C-w or C-h C-c Additional info: As the COPYING file in question affects runtime, it probably should not be used solely as documentation. I see the NEWS file is duplicated between content and documentation, so if that is acceptable, the %exclude line can just be removed to have a copy in both places. I interpreted the guidelines as to avoid duplicates, so I used the attached to create a symlink for license documentation. Either solution fixes the problem.
