[Fedora-packaging] how to handle a common (base) package

[Orcan Ogetbil]

Hello all,
During the review [1] of the redland-bindings package , I came across
a situation where there are common %doc files that need to be shared
across different bindings. These are:
%doc AUTHORS COPYING COPYING.LIB ChangeLog
%doc LICENSE.txt NEWS README TODO
%doc LICENSE.html NEWS.html README.html TODO.html
%doc LICENSE-2.0.txt NOTICE
%doc RELEASE.html

The package has perl, php, python and ruby bindings, each of which has
its own subpackage, i.e.
perl-redland
php-redland
python-redland
ruby-redland
and the above are the only common files across. The question is, where
do these files go?

Shall we make a common package and make all the binding subpackages
depend on it? If so, what shall be the name of the common package? I
need to add that some of the bindings have different licenses, so some
of the above license files may be irrelevant for some of the bindings.

Thanks,
Orcan
