Thanks!
Sadly, the new SRPM creates a new rpmlint error:
rpmlint mine_detector.spec ../RPMS/x86_64/mine_detector-6.0-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm
../SRPMS/mine_detector-6.0-3.fc12.src.rpm
mine_detector.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8
/usr/share/doc/mine_detector-6.0/license_clarification.mbox
The guidelines require fixing rpmlint errors unless rpmlint is wrong:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#rpmlint
I suggest changing .mbox to .txt, and invoking "iconv" during %prep or %build
to convert the file to UTF-8. That way, people can get the original file in
its original encoding if they want to (it'll be in the SRPM), but the installed
file will be in UTF-8. I suspect few people will use mail readers to read this
license clarification material. Instead, they'll probably pull up their
favorite pager or text editor, which won't really pay attention the character
encoding markup in this file. Switching to UTF-8 and using a .txt extension
will it easier on those users.
