Re: basic question - space in file name

[Paul Flores <flores_p_a yahoo com>]

Double quoting doesn't work or at least I can't get it too work! 

 

In documentation the implication is that the expectation is that filenames in a SPEC file can be space delimited allowing for more than one file to be included on one line.  It appears that the rpmbuild command is explicitly looking for spaces which defeats both double quoting and escaping spaces.
