Description: ------------ The template spec file has a "doc hack" which compares the string containing the list of documents against an empty string, to decide if stuff needs to be done with them: # Sort out documentation if [ "@doc_files@" != "" ]; then mv %{buildroot}/docs/@package@/* . rm -rf %{buildroot}/docs fi This is a messy hack and needs tidying. Test script: --------------- # Test1: this is a package with docs pear make-rpm-spec Net_SMTP-1.2.8.tgz (grep out the paragraph following "# Sort out documentation") # Test2: this is a package without docs pear make-rpm-spec PEAR_Command_Packaging-0.1.0.tgz (grep out the paragraph following "# Sort out documentation") Expected result: ---------------- Test1: mv %{buildroot}/docs/Net_SMTP/* . rm -rf %{buildroot}/docs Test2: [nothing] Actual result: -------------- Test1: if [ " docs/examples/basic.php docs/guide.txt" != "" ]; then mv %{buildroot}/docs/Net_SMTP/* . rm -rf %{buildroot}/docs fi Test2: if [ "" != "" ]; then mv %{buildroot}/docs/PEAR_Command_Packaging/* . rm -rf %{buildroot}/docs fi
