+ === Explicit lists
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Packagers *SHOULD NOT* simply glob everything under a shared directory.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ In particular, the following *SHOULD NOT* be used in `+%files+`:
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ * `+%{_bindir}/*+`
|
| |
+ * `+%{_datadir}/*+`
|
| |
+ * `+%{_includedir}/*+`
|
| |
+ * `+%{_mandir}/*+`
|
| |
+ * `+%{_docdir}/*+`
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ This rule serves as a check against common mistakes
|
| |
+ which are otherwise hard to detect.
|
| |
+ It does limit some possibilities for automation.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ The most common mistake this rule prevents is upstream adding new commands in `+%{_bindir}/*+`.
|
| |
+ You should always check such changes for
|
| |
+ https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Conflicts/#_common_conflicting_files_cases_and_solutions[conflicts],
|
| |
+ and keep the list of such files explicit and auditable.
