I want to create an "examples" folder inside

This wont work as the first %doc line deletes and re-creates
%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}, so rpmbuild will fail with:
"... /usr/share/doc/foo/examples/test: cpio: Bad magic"
Any idea how I can have a subdir then?
Christoph
Simple: don't install examples/ in %docdir manually, instead include it
in the %files section of %doc.
Example: tarball contents is
foo-0.1.0/
foo-0.1.0/foo.c
foo-0.1.0/COPYING
foo-0.1.0/examples/
foo-0.1.0/examples/run.me
then your %doc section reads:
%doc COPYING examples/
