gdcm : duplicate documentation files / potentially conflicting
Last modified: 2013-12-29 23:58:00 EST
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).

gdcm-2.2.6-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdcm-2.2.6-1.fc20
Package gdcm-2.2.6-1.fc20: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 20 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing gdcm-2.2.6-1.fc20' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-21749/gdcm-2.2.6-1.fc20 then log in and leave karma (feedback).
Created attachment 836964 [details] proposed spec changes/fixes The fix in the update is almost complete, but the file "COPYRIGHT.txt" MUST be included in the base package and not only in the optional -doc package: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Subpackage_Licensing [...] Attached is a patch that is one way to fix it, and it adds fixes for various small issues in the spec. Note that if you don't mind moving the huge documentation out of the shared %_docdir/gdcm/ (which is the same as the docdir path for the base package), the alternative fix would simply use the %doc macro in both the base package and the -doc package. That would move the html tree into the %_docdir/gdcm-doc/ dir. Many packages do that instead of using a shared docdir for multiple subpackages. [...] JFYI (unrelated to this doc), the build.log contains several failing tests including some exceptions/segfaults. Also in your most recent koji build.
