Dear list,

I am wondering if there is any trick that could make me able to say in the %file section of a spec file include all what's in the directory foo except bar include bar as %doc

(bar in contained in the directory foo)

Move bar at the end of %install; add it to %doc normally.

I do not install bar myself, it's done directly.

Thanks, Pierre

That does not stop you from moving it at the end of %install.

I should not move them, they are where they should be:

%{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/

%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/doc %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/DESCRIPTION %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/html %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/late

This obviously returns "File listed twice" but I was wondering if I could find a way to avoid to add the content of the whole directory.

Just wondering if it is possible, it might not be. I already asked spot who had no idea about that.

Thanks for your help,

Pierre

work? I haven't actually tried exactly that situation before, but I think it *may* work that way.

%{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}

%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/doc %exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/DESCRIPTION %exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/html %exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/latex/ %exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/man/ [...]

%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/doc %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/DESCRIPTION %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/html %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/latex/ %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/man/ [...]

This compiles but then: rpmlint: R-RUnit.noarch: W: no-documentation

So it compiles but does not include the documentation

Regards, Pierre

You need to use %dir and list the non-doc stuff, e.g.: %dir %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/ %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/foo %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/bar %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/baz %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/doc %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/DESCRIPTION %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/html %doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/late

Using patterns can help: %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/[^dDhl]* will pick up most of the non-doc files. :-)

That's really an ugly way of doing things, though, and this situation is more or less the reason %exclude exists - it's just the %doc wrinkle that doesn't appear to have been considered (apparently, %exclude only helps in the "I want these 5,000 files in THIS package, except just one in this OTHER sub-package" situation). When you have a directory with really hundreds and hundreds, or even thousands, of files in it, and you just want to handle *one* of them differently, doing it by manually specifying all the non-exception packages in some way is really pretty silly, and there should be a more elegant way to handle it.

Of course, I'd still like to know if these doc files actually have to be in this particular directory, otherwise you could just delete them from the directory at the end of %install, and install them as docs in the standard doc dir in the usual way instead.

If it listed twice intentionally is it really get any sense of this warning from rpmlint??

So I have a question. How are these files used? You say that R expects them to be present here. Does that mean that the program can open them? Or that R has its own help viewer that can find them here?

Is it question for me? I don't known. I only speak about rpm warning what file listed twice. In end of process we get file where we want and marked as doc, also as we want. So, I think if all done correctly in final rpm package - we may just fully ignore this warning.

How about creating symlinks inside %{_docdir}/%{name} that point to %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/doc etc ?

How would that solve this problem? You'd still need to mark the actual files as %doc.

Uhm... Why?

Because they are documentation. :-)
