Hide Forgot
I have package rpm-shr which amongst others contains the doc files in directory /usr/local/share/doc/rpm-shr-3.0.1/ However, the directory /usr/local/share/doc/rpm-shr-3.0.1/ is not executable, so the files end up as 'missing'. This is new behaviour.
What platform is this on? IRIX?
IRIX or Solaris alike
It seems that there is something wrong with the attributes of %doc files. 1) there is no way to influence the attributes of the doc directory itself 2) the attributes of *all* doc files are taken from the first file mentioned in the list - make that one executable and the directory and all doc files will be executable ... %files %attr(444,benedict,sys) %doc README %attr(0,root,staff) %doc ChangeLog gives the following contents of the package: dr--r--r-- benedict sys 42 Jun 03 16:41 /usr/local/share/doc/hello-shr-1.3 -r--r--r-- benedict sys 5664 May 23 1993 /usr/local/share/doc/hello-shr-1.3/ChangeLog -r--r--r-- benedict sys 790 May 20 1993 /usr/local/share/doc/hello-shr-1.3/README whereas %files shr %attr(555,benedict,sys) %doc README %attr(0,root,staff) %doc ChangeLog gives dr-xr-xr-x benedict sys 42 Jun 03 16:45 /usr/local/share/doc/hello-shr-1.3 -r-xr-xr-x benedict sys 5664 May 23 1993 /usr/local/share/doc/hello-shr-1.3/ChangeLog -r-xr-xr-x benedict sys 790 May 20 1993 /usr/local/share/doc/hello-shr-1.3/README
