flex was identified as a package possibly needing maintainer attention due to the F-20 unversioned doc dir change. The identification is not foolproof, it is basically this grep: grep -E "(/doc|_docdir|_defaultdocdir).+version" *.spec Please review your package and make the appropriate changes, if any. A good starting point is checking the lines output by the above grep for your specfile. For the vast majority of packages, after the changes, the expected outcome is that documentation dirs in /usr/share/doc should no longer contain the package version.

Christopher, why did you set this to CLOSED CURRENTRELEASE? $ grep -E "(/doc|_docdir|_defaultdocdir).+version" *.spec %global flexdocdir %{_datadir}/doc/flex-doc-%{version} %{_datadir}/doc/flex-doc-%{version} $ rpm -qlp http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/flex/2.5.37/4.fc20/x86_64/flex-doc-2.5.37-4.fc20.x86_64.rpm | grep usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/flex-doc-2.5.37 /usr/share/doc/flex-doc-2.5.37/AUTHORS /usr/share/doc/flex-doc-2.5.37/COPYING /usr/share/doc/flex-doc-2.5.37/NEWS /usr/share/doc/flex-doc-2.5.37/ONEWS /usr/share/doc/flex-doc-2.5.37/README /usr/share/doc/flex-doc-2.5.37/flex.pdf The flex-doc docdir is still obviously versioned.
(In reply to Ville Skyttä from comment #3) Sorry for the noise, mistake by myself when handling tons of bugs.
In flex.spec: %files doc %defattr(-,root,root) %{_datadir}/doc/flex-doc-%{version} Should be: %files doc %defattr(-,root,root) %{_datadir}/doc/flex-doc ================================================= I see something interesting: %global flexdocdir %{_datadir}/doc/flex-doc-%{version} Well... Someone define the docdir to be a versioned %{_datadir}/doc/flex-doc-%{version}, but this macro is only used for define, in %files it's not used anymore, I think it's just a waste. Patch attached(with cleanup to catch the fashion ;-) ) Hope you can apply it soon. Thanks.

Ville, I think you should give it a try? As I couldn't see any actions from the package owner.
