Bug in ghc-rpm-macros?

[Róman Joost]

Hi,

I've build a new ghc-cassava package against F25 and was wondering if
either cabal-rpm generated a wrong spec file or ghc-rpm-macros'
ghc_pkgdocdir might point to the wrong path.

The error I'm running into is:

rm: cannot remove
    '/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/ghc-cassava-0.4.5.1-1.fc25.x86_64/usr/share/doc/ghc-cassava/LICENSE':
    No such file or directory
    https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/romanofski/gtfsschedule/fedo...

And in the spec file the LICENSE is declared as:

[...]
    %install
    %ghc_lib_install

rm %{buildroot}%{ghc_pkgdocdir}/LICENSE

%check
    %cabal_test

%post devel
    %ghc_pkg_recache

%postun devel
    %ghc_pkg_recache

%files -f %{name}.files
    %license LICENSE
    [...]
    https://paste.fedoraproject.org/492174/

Should ghc_pkgdocdir point to /usr/share/licenses ?

Kind Regards,

Essentially yes: thanks for the report.
Sorry about that, I just released cabal-rpm-0.10.1 to Hackage which
should fix that.
I should have done that before F25 was released....

This is now redundant for F24+, so either remove the line by hand or
regenerate with newer cabal-rpm.

I will push Fedora builds to koji shortly.
