Description Michael Schwendt 2013-08-26 19:54:54 UTC
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).

General discussion of this problem:
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/338

Comment 1 Michael Schwendt 2013-12-18 00:54:24 UTC
Looks like an easy fix. Removing from tracker ticket, since the docdir is non-versioned, and there are several other packaging issues:


* package -doc sets wrong Group tag, should be "Documentation

* package -doc should not require "kicad", so the documentation can be installed and viewed independently

* none of the -doc-XX subpackages for non-English languages should depend on the -doc package. If that has been done only for directory ownership, please notice
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#The_directory_is_owned_by_a_package_which_is_not_required_for_your_package_to_function

in other words, you may add a "%dir %{_docdir}/%{name}" entry to each -doc-XX package instead of depending on the -doc package

* BuildRoot definition, emptying and the %clean section are not needed anymore, not for EL6 either
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRoot_tag
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#.25clean

* package "kicad" executes ldconfig in scriptlets. Why? It doesn't install any shared libs in run-time linker's search path. And for the extended search path that adds %_libdir/kicad/, ldconfig doesn't need to be called, because the dir is empty. 

* %defattr is not needed anymore for any of the active dist releases including EL5+6
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_Permissions

* files below %_docdir are marked as documentation automatically, no need to use %doc for such paths

* why does the base package duplicate %{_docdir}/%{name}/help/en/kicad.pdf? If that file is a hard requirement, it must not be stored in docdir, since RPM may be configured to --excludedocs. a file that MUST be available at run-time would need to be stored elsewhere and not below /usr/share/doc

I don't agree, but fixed.

doc-XX depends on doc because translations are poor
Won't fix.
