Wrong again. Man pages must be part of the subpackage they document.

In general, doc's need to be part (Or be pulled in through package deps) of the package they document. => user-documentation goes into the base package => devel-docs into *devel packages unless there are technical reasons to do otherwise -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
