Subject: [Fedora-packaging] %license for EPEL6
To: Fedora Packaging list <packaging(a)lists.fedoraproject.org>
I have a package that can be build on all Fedora branches and on EPEL
6 and 7 with the same spec file. It uses
%{!?_pkgdocdir: %global _pkgdocdir %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}}
and copies all docs to this %_pkgdocdir. This works fine.
Now how should I handle licenses? On EPEL6, %license is not defined,
neither is %_licensedir.
One possibility is to use
%{!?_licensedir:%global license %%doc}
but that would violate the (fresh) packaging guideline mandating usage
of either %_pkgdocdir or %doc, but not both in the same specfile.
Any other suggestions?
I have a similar issue in libpng10:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libpng10.git/tree/libpng10.spec
Basically, I copy the license file into %_pkgdocdir like for any other
documentation on systems where %_licensedir isn't defined.
