In an effort to package up multiple MPI libraries (LAM-MPI, Open-MPI, and MPICH2), we're running into a number of issues with file conflicts. The current strategy is to move many things into /usr/share/%{name}. However, man pages put in /usr/share/%{name}/man are not compressed.

Should I just file a bug against /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress (rpm-build) to add that pattern? Current list is:

for d in ./usr/man/man* ./usr/man/*/man* ./usr/info \ ./usr/share/man/man* ./usr/share/man/*/man* ./usr/share/info \ ./usr/kerberos/man ./usr/X11R6/man/man* ./usr/lib/perl5/man/man* \ ./usr/share/doc/*/man/man* ./usr/lib/*/man/man*

Or should the man pages go elsewhere?

Anything I should do in the meantime to compress the man pages manually if this is the right location until rpm-build is fixed?

Well, keep in mind that man won't look in /usr/share/*/man as configured in the fedora man package. (Look in /etc/man.config for confirmation of this). This will need to be fixed at the same time as /usr/lib/rpm/bmp-compress.

It also won't look in /usr/share/doc/*/man (but rpm is configured for it). I don't care which one we use, but either one will require changes to the man package configuration.
