Hi there, I'm an absolute newbie trying to package an application with RPM for the=20 first time and would like to mark some files as config files. The top directory of this aplication has several files and directories,=20 only two of which hold config files. Thus, I'm doing something like this=20 in my spec file: %files /usr/local/myAppTopDir/ %config /usr/local/myAppTopDir/configDir1/* %config /usr/local/myAppTopDir/configDir2/* Obviously, this generates several 'file listed twice' warnings. However,=20 I queried the generated rpm and didn't find anything wrong with it. All=20 config files where included and correctly marked as config files. So my questions are: can I safely ignore these warnings or listing files=20 twice like I have causes a problem I'm not seeing now? is there a better=20 way to do what I want? I have been looking through the list archives so I know many of you=20 would advice me to explicitly list all files. I know this would take=20 care of this particular problem, but I don't want to do that unless I=20 really have to, since I find globbing significantly more practical in=20 this case. I thank you already for taking the time to read this. Regards. Adri=E1n.
