My reading of the guidelines (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#License_Text) is that %license should only be used for files that just contain the licence but I guess it could be interpreted more widely?
I'll err on the side of caution, and create a new LICENSE.md file from the license information in README.md. It's probably overkill, but at least there will be no doubt about where the license information lives. Spec URL: https://jsmith.fedorapeople.org/Packaging/nodejs-array-index/nodejs-array-index.spec SRPM URL: https://jsmith.fedorapeople.org/Packaging/nodejs-array-index/nodejs-array-index-0.2.0-2.fc24.src.rpm
I just approved a package with the license in %doc and %license The purpose of using %license was to be able to ship Fedora without documentation (to save disk space on atomic hosts) but with license. If the license is in the readme and readme is only in %doc, deleting the docs would violate the license.
Like I say I had been reading "in its own file" to mean a file just containing the license but I guess it could be interpreted more widely. I don't think it's a major problem whichever way things go, so package approved.
Yes, you are correct, that is what it literally says. It just doesn't make sense to me when I take the whole purpose of the %license tag in account. I've sent a mail to packaging list, maybe this will clear things up. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging%40lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/7AZ6YYIGRC53E4S3KHJLDOUCNTAGSXEV/
Package request has been approved: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/nodejs-array-index
Closing this bug as CLOSED RAWHIDE since it's built in Rawhide, and I'd like to have other package reviews that are dependent on this bug to move forward.
