%doc says "Copy the specified file from the source tree to /usr/share/doc/packages/ and include it in the RPM"

%doc doesn't copy anything for an absolute name, it merely sets the doc flag for that file.

Is there any end-user value in:

%doc %{_mandir}/man1/*

over

%{_mandir}/man1/*

No. The man pages are packaged as documentation anyhow automatically. Also the manual gzip of the man page as part of the install is superfluous.

None of my packages use %doc to tag man pages as documentation and I haven't noticed on other spec files either.

Samba had it till some hours back too. Thanks for the heads up! Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
