[Fedora-packaging] %doc and %attr problems

[François Kooman]

Hi,

I'm trying to package globalplatform and gpshell but have some problems 
now with packaging some of the example scripts included. They are 
chmodded 755 instead of the wanted 644 so I tried to use this in the 
spec file:

%attr(0644,root,root)%doc README COPYING.LESSER *.txt

But this will result in the /usr/share/doc/gpshell-1.4.2/ also being 
chmodded 644 which will make rpmlint (correctly) complain:

gpshell.x86_64: E: non-standard-dir-perm /usr/share/doc/gpshell-1.4.2 0644

I tried using:

%doc
%attr(0644,root,root)%doc README LICENSE.LESSER *.txt

but that doesn't seem to help much.

I've already submitted this issue upstream and the maintainer said that 
he'll fix it for the next release in a few months...

How can I deal with it best for now?

Regards,
François
