[opensuse] rpmbuild - %doc keeps wiping out additional %docdir files?
All, I need help. I am working on packaging WordNet. Doing so, I have 5 doc files in the base directory of the source packages I want in the documentation directory of the final package: %doc AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING LICENSE README Fine - works, puts the files in /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet where I want them. However, I also have the html, pdf, and ps documentation directories I want to put in that SAME directory. In the %install section I create the directory and move the documentation dirs (html,pdf,ps) to /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet with the following: # Make proper document dir, mv doc files, rm old doc dir mkdir -p %{buildroot}/usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet mv %{buildroot}/usr/doc/* %{buildroot}/usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet rm -rf %{buildroot}/usr/doc/ I then add: %files ... %docdir /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc rpmbuild completes fine, but NONE of the (html,pdf,or ps) directories are present in the final package. None of these exists: /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet/html /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet/pdf /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet/ps Grr.. From research I found that this was due to the %doc AUTHORS... line wiping out everything else in the /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet directory -- the reason given: "that is just rpm being dumb, that's just the way it has always been." But there was no explanation how to fix this issue. It seems simple. All I want to do is move the documentation from %{buildroot}/usr/doc/{html,pdf,ps} to %{buildroot}/usr/doc/packages/WordNet/{html,pdf,ps} and include those directories along with the files AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING LICENSE and README. But how do I do it without the first %doc line wiping them out? I have given up in the interim and just created a %{buildroot}/usr/doc/packages/WordNet-docs directory and move the html, pdf and ps directories there, but I really would like all documentation under /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet. How do I do that?? Here is my current %files setup. %files %defattr(-,root,root) /usr/bin /usr/include /usr/lib64 /usr/lib /usr/share/applications /usr/share/pixmaps /usr/share/wordnet %doc AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING LICENSE README %docdir /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet-docs /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet-docs What say the masters?

you will probably get a better/faster answer on opensuse-packaging :^) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

What about compressing the problem directories with their contents into a single file and then using a post-installation script to decompress them in place? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Good idea. If I can't get it to work all in one-shot, I'll probably just drop the documentation into a subpackage and have that available for separate install. The documentation is about a 3M package on its own. Thanks. -- David C.
