(In reply to comment #7)
Documentation is for humans to read. If a script is truly just
documentation
then packaging it as executable is just as much a defect as packaging man pages
with executable bits set. But that's well into the land of "spec and packaging
hygiene and policies" department which I've zero interest in arguing over, and
little to do with the actual issue here.
In this case, the included scripts under %_docdir are not marked as executable;
Ralf's comment that bits under %_docdir shouldn't be scanned for dep tracking
is with merit, methinks.
The real issue here is that this change in behaviour has potential implications
for dep/req generation for all packages in Fedora with anything under %_docdir
that was previously not scanned.
I would think a good resolution for this would either be:
1) revert to the prior behaviour; or
2) allow certain directories to be easily excluded from autodep/prov, and
default %_docdir to being excluded.
Personally, I'd prefer #2 :)
