Hi,
since some packagers reverted my way to install the package docs of some
of my contributed packages, I would like to discuss these issues here.
I actively avoid the %doc directive in my packages with separate -doc
package for two reasons:
* i don't like the silly /usr/share/doc/packages/pkgname-doc, because
/usr/share/doc/packages is _way_ too crowded already, and for common
sense sake, the doc should be located in the doc hierarchy of the
package itself: /usr/share/doc/packages/pkgname.
* the way, rpm copies the data (cp -pr) reverts the changes of %fdupes,
which is a pity, since especially the docs tend to provide redundant
data.
Does anybody agree with me?

I agree, when having doc as
subpkg, then path should be
/usr/share/doc/packages/pkgname
and not
/usr/share/doc/packages/pkgname-doc

And? So you redefine the name rpm uses which is docdir if I remember
correctly.

Well, if I do:

Up to
/var/tmp/python-polib-0.7.0-build/usr/share/doc/packages/python-polib,
it's fine, but %doc seems to insist of using the packages name as the
last element.
Close, but no cigar.

failed, any other idea on how to manage %doc sanely without copying it
manually?
