While introducing "%license" in my packages I have noticed these differences that packagers should be aware of, which I haven't seen documented:
· There is a macro named _licensedir which is analogous to _docdir, but
there is no _pkglicensedir corresponding to _pkgdocdir. Use
"%{_licensedir}/%{name}" instead.
· Files under /usr/share/doc are automatically tagged as documentation
files even if "%doc" isn't used. Files under /usr/share/licenses are not
automatically tagged as license files, so they need to be preceded by
"%license" in file lists.
· RPMlint warns about CRLF line terminators under /usr/share/doc but
not under /usr/share/licenses.
