Hi,

Since the Packaging Guidelines were changed so that licensing files must be marked with the {{{%license}}} directive, I would like to propose a change in the DevAssistant Packaging Guidelines [1] allowing for hassle-free packaging of licensing files. The change is very simple (the diff can be found at [2]):

• It is possible to specify licensing files when running the {{{%install_assistant}}} macro with the {{{-L}}} flag. The file list generated by this macro will mark the appropriate files in the {{{doc}}} directory of the DAP with the {{{%license}}} macro, and will not mark the underlying directories as documentation (to ensure license files are installed even if the RPM is installed without docs).

• Sample SPEC and {{{%files}}} section in the Guidelines are fixed to reflect the new option.

The affected DevAssistant packages have already been updated to accommodate for this change [3, 4]. At [5], you can find the source and binary RPMs of a DAP built with the new packages.

Thank you,

Tomas Radej
