I'm trying to move some API docs to a -doc subpackage. I'd like to
install these docs to /usr/share/doc/%{name}-%{version} (which
corresponds to where "make install" puts them); so I do
%files doc
%doc %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}/manual
instead of
%files doc
%doc doc/manual
However, I'd like to leave README and similar in the main package, where
I have
%files
%doc README NEWS COPYING.LESSER
The problem I'm running into is that in the course of packaging the docs
for the main package, rpm does
rm -rf %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}
So, when it subsequently tries to package the docs for the -doc
subpackage, the "manual" subdirectory (that was put there by "make
install") has been blown away.
What can I do here? Is it possible to suppress the "rm -rf" that %doc
does?
