Is it OK? Building the RPM nly generates warning about a file being listed twice. Rpmlint is silent.

The thing I want to avoid is to use the following instead:

%files
%license %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/LICENSE
%doc %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/every
%doc %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/other
%doc %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/file
%doc %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/in
%doc %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/here
%doc %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/one
%doc %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/by
%doc %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/1

Would it be possible to remove the file at the end of %install and just point the %license tag to the file present in the sources?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Miro,

you can do it like this. It will avoid the problem of that specific %license-file being listed twice in the resulting rpm.

%files %license %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/LICENSE %doc %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs %doc %exclude %{_datadir}/%{name}/docs/LICENSE

Cheers Björn
