Packaging guideline changes are pretty much never retroactive; we don't
really have an enforcement body.
Yeah, I could have worded it better... I guess what I should have asked, is
this rawhide and up, or should F20/21 packages be updated. Also, I'm
assuming this isn't important enough to rebuild packages for, but should be
done the next time the package is built for other reasons?
RS> What about EPEL 5, 6, 7?
Pretty sure 7 is OK, but in any case, EPEL has its own guidelines.
Still, here's some magic:
%{!?_licensedir:%global license %%doc}
Now everything supports %license. I so wish there was an
epel-rpm-config package that could hold this kind of thing.
It might be a good idea to add that to the wiki since many people, like
myself, prefer to have the spec files consistent even across Fedora/EPEL.

Feel free to make a more concrete suggestion and I'll be happy to make
the change.
I'm certainly not a mediawiki wizard so I could provide the content if
someone would help me format it. I think capturing best practices is
*always* a good idea :)
Thanks,
