Hi,
Can somebody clarify where should go the files mentioned in $SUBJECT if the package provides a -doc subpackage? It is obvious that the LICENSE file must go into the main package, but what about the others? There are packages, which has the $SUBJECT files in main package, but I think they should go into -doc subpackage. What else wold be the -doc subpackage purpose then?
BTW it would be nice if the guidelines could be clarified regarding this issue.
true the existing basic guideline: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Documentation
doesn't explicitly cover that case. I'd tend to defer this to the packagers' best judgment.
My own personal opinion is that README (and the others mentioned to a lesser degree) are generally essential so should be included in the main package (unless -doc is not optional, ie, is pulled in by main package dependencies)
