Description benedict 1999-06-03 07:26:54 UTC 
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.
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 1999-06-03 10:21:59 UTC 
What platform is this on? IRIX?
Comment 2 benedict 1999-06-03 11:29:59 UTC 
IRIX or Solaris alike
Comment 3 benedict 1999-06-03 14:46:59 UTC 
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
