--- Comment #4 from José Matos <jamatos(a)fc.up.pt> ---
(In reply to Iñaki Ucar from comment #2)
One question. From the Octave guidelines, it is not clear to me
whether the
COPYING file needs to be marked with %license. It says it is expected under
the packinfo directory, but then only this directory is listed in the
template. In fact, other existing packages do have the COPYING file, but
it's not explicitly listed. E.g.,
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/octave-statistics/blob/master/f/octave-
statistics.spec
$ dnf repoquery -l octave-statistics | grep COPYING
/usr/share/octave/packages/statistics-1.4.1/packinfo/COPYING
There are two issues here.
1) Most of the these packages have been submitted before the introduction of
the %license field.
2) The requirement to add %license when a file is present applies to all fedora
packages.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidel...
This is quite similar to the R packages in this regard, the license file is
present in some directory and also identified as %license.
I hope that this makes sense and answers your question. :-)
