Files listed twice question

[Adrián Márques <amarques geocom com uy>]

Hi there,

I'm an absolute newbie trying to package an application with RPM for the 
first time and would like to mark some files as config files.
The top directory of this aplication has several files and directories, 
only two of which hold config files. Thus, I'm doing something like this 
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, 
I queried the generated rpm and didn't find anything wrong with it. All 
config files where included and correctly marked as config files.

So my questions are: can I safely ignore these warnings or listing files 
twice like I have causes a problem I'm not seeing now? is there a better 
way to do what I want?

I have been looking through the list archives so I know many of you 
would advice me to explicitly list all files. I know this would take 
care of this particular problem, but I don't want to do that unless I 
really have to, since I find globbing significantly more practical in 
this case.

I thank you already for taking the time to read this.

Regards.

Adrián.
