Hello.

The mariadb-5.5.33a-2.fc21.src.rpm package won't backport due to the new:

# In f20+ use unversioned docdirs, otherwise the old versioned one
%{!?_pkgdocdir: %global _pkgdocdir %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}}

And the conditional rpm magic makes INSTALL_DOCDIR and INSTALL_DOCREADMEDIR unset for an older distro, which in turn makes the build barf when it can't find for example '/home/oden/RPM/BUILDROOT/mariadb-5.5.33a-1.fc18.i386/usr/share/doc/mariadb-5.5.33a/INFO_SRC'.

Proposed fix:
