Re: [Fedora-packaging] how to handle a common (base) package

Hello all, During the review [1] of the redland-bindings package , I came across a situation where there are common %doc files that need to be shared across different bindings. These are: %doc AUTHORS COPYING COPYING.LIB ChangeLog %doc LICENSE.txt NEWS README TODO %doc LICENSE.html NEWS.html README.html TODO.html %doc LICENSE-2.0.txt NOTICE %doc RELEASE.html The package has perl, php, python and ruby bindings, each of which has its own subpackage, i.e. perl-redland php-redland python-redland ruby-redland and the above are the only common files across. The question is, where do these files go? Shall we make a common package and make all the binding subpackages depend on it? If so, what shall be the name of the common package? I need to add that some of the bindings have different licenses, so some of the above license files may be irrelevant for some of the bindings.
