Well, the existing guidelines already cover this by explicitly banning
duplicates in the %files list. I see the current discussion as
addressing the question of whether there are any permissible
exceptions to that, and whether the guidelines need to be modified to
allow them. That is obviously on topic for this list.
Yes. Review guidelines already covered them. But I think I confused
and assumed that we need to add now explicitly some text like "keep
the license file in the main package and drop it from the -devel one
as that requires the main package anyways." at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-9bbfa57478f0460c6...
Like we already have "for example API documentation belongs in the
-devel subpackage, not the main one" written in Documentation section
in Packaging Guidelines Page. So how about mentioning similar for
license file inclusion?
Anyway it may also looks like duplication of guideline rules at 2 places.
Thanks,
Parag.
