I'm struggling with RPM's %doc directive... I have a package which installs a doc file in the buildroot, so I want to mark it as documentation.
According to the RPM guide [1], the %doc directive can be used "in “special” form on a path relative to the build directory which causes the files to be installed and packaged as documentation", which is commonly used: '%doc README' will copy the README file from the build directory to the buildroot. But if a package already installs a file in the appropriate place of the buildroot, it should be possible to just mark that as documentation ("Can be used as a regular attribute on an absolute path")... But using '%doc %{_pkgdocdir}/python_module/README.md' returns 'Can't mix special %doc with other forms: /usr/share/doc/siril/python_module/README.md' How can I make %doc use that as absolute patch instead of special form? Am I wrong or it's a bug?
