Hello, creating the symlink to licenses in the licenses package is curently done by including a small script in each spec file, like: for FILE in COPYING copyright.txt ; do MD5SUM=$(md5sum $FILE | sed 's/ .*//') if test -f /usr/share/doc/licenses/md5/$MD5SUM ; then ln -sf /usr/share/doc/licenses/md5/$MD5SUM $FILE fi done This is error-prone (see bug 306681) and adds lots of duplicated code to the spec files. Please add a small script to the licenses package or create a rpm macro that creates the symlink. If the rpm macro could also drop in a "Requires: licenses", it would be even better. The specfile should then contain commands like (replacing the example above): %symlink_license COPYING %symlink_license copyright.txt Oh, and please do this ASAP, before more package(r)s include the script in the spec file ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- 31.8.-3.9.2007: Weinfest und Jubiläum 1225 Jahre Insheim Pig Slip, Hifi-Delity, Human Fact, Frank Petersen und die Söhne Insheims spielen bei der Landjugend.
