rpmlint doesn't work properly with RI files (unexpanded-macro, file-not-utf8, wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding)

Created attachment 606236 [details] Patch for unexpanded macro warning when checking RI files Description of problem: In the current version of rpmlint, rubygems may raise warnings that are not accurate. rpmlint handles some RI files (that are always binary) as text files and does not allow percent-encoding in the path (but this is correct since Ruby use these characters in the names of methods and RDoc saves RI files with the full method names including encoded special characters). 2 attached patches solve the problem: macro_regex.patch solves unexpanded-macro issue and ri_files_are_binary.patch solve the rest Steps to Reproduce: 1. install rpmlint: yum install rpmlint 2. download Mocha rpm package from: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/rubygem-mocha/0.12.1/1.fc18/noarch/rubygem-mocha-doc-0.12.1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm 3. run rpmlint to check this package: rpmlint ./rubygem-mocha-doc-0.12.1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm Actual results: warning unexpanded-macro: rubygem-mocha-doc.noarch: W: unexpanded-macro /usr/share/gems/doc/mocha-0.12.1/ri/Mocha/Expectation/satisfied%3f-i.ri %3f warning file-not-utf8: rubygem-mocha-doc.noarch: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/gems/doc/mocha-0.12.1/ri/cache.ri warning wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding: rubygem-mocha-doc.noarch: W: wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding /usr/share/gems/doc/mocha-0.12.1/ri/Mocha/Expectation/backtrace-i.ri Expected results: No such warnings Additional info: I am submitting the patch here as I am unsure about the current upstream of rpmlint. If you know it, please let me know.
