[opensuse-packaging] Files section in the spec: How to correctly specify files in a directory?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody, I tried to compile lxc with the original spec, that is being delivered from upstream. Some changes in the BuildRequires (package names etc.), but then it compiles. That is, up to the point where some files/directories are not owned by any package. The original spec's file section contains:
%{_datadir}/doc/* %{_datadir}/lxc/*
As soon as I change this to the following, it compiles alright.
%{_datadir}/doc/ %{_datadir}/doc/* %{_datadir}/lxc/ %{_datadir}/lxc/*
Can someone point me to the documentation, where the correct syntax is explained? Is this just a SUSE/openSUSE/OBS specific thing? The spec from upstream seems to compile alright for fedora, at least that is how I understood it. Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody,
Hello!
I tried to compile lxc with the original spec, that is being delivered from upstream. Some changes in the BuildRequires (package names etc.), but then it compiles.
That is, up to the point where some files/directories are not owned by any package. The original spec's file section contains:
%{_datadir}/doc/* %{_datadir}/lxc/*
doc and lxc directories content is owned but not directories.
As soon as I change this to the following, it compiles alright.
%{_datadir}/doc/ %{_datadir}/lxc/
doc and lxc directories content is owned and directories too. It is a good idea for lxc but package should not own anything from filesystem package and %{_datadir}/doc is there. So the correct should be %{_datadir}/lxc %{_datadir}/doc/lxcsubdir1 %{_datadir}/doc/lxcsubdir2 etc.
Can someone point me to the documentation, where the correct syntax is explained? Is this just a SUSE/openSUSE/OBS specific thing? The spec from upstream seems to compile alright for fedora, at least that is how I understood it.
Thanks in advance.

Documentation extracted by the packager himself lands at %{_datadir}/doc/packages/%{name}. Documentation installed by upstream may land at whatever path upstream specified, including %{_datadir}/doc/%{name}.

So basically the asterisk is not needed? Is this openSUSE-specific or just a flaw from upstream?

Basically it is just more than one file in these directories, so the * was introduced, I guess.

It depends on fact if the directory is a system one or a package one. I don't really know if it is openSUSE-specific. I made some packages for RHEL & Fedora using the same approach.

Sorry to repeat the question: is this suse-specific? I guess the upstream spec has not been created on openSUSE, hence the question... And is there any documentation specifically handling the files section? I found none...
