Speaking from experience, and from the feedback I've received on a package I'm getting through review now, I'd suggest leaving things like tests, the Rakefile, etc. out of the RPM since they're not necessary. If you want to package them, perhaps include a -devel package that bundles them. If you have examples, Rdoc files, etc. then those would go into the -doc package. -- Darryl L.
