Yes they are so I changed :)

But while testing on some packages I found something I don't fully 
understand:

%files
%defattr(-, root, root, -)
#noarch
%{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/
%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/doc
%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/DESCRIPTION
%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/html
%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/latex/
%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/man/

%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/doc
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/DESCRIPTION
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/html
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/latex/
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/man/

With this section rpmlint returns a warning that there is no docs.
Which is indeed true, in the rpm if I open it I cannot find the 
DESCRIPTION file nor the other folders.

%files
%defattr(-, root, root, -)
#noarch
%{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/
%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/doc
%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/DESCRIPTION
%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/html
%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/latex/
%exclude %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/man/

%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/doc
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/DESCRIPTION
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/html
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/latex/
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/man/
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/NEWS
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/COPYING
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/CONTENTS
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/NAMESPACE
%doc %{_datadir}/R/library/%{packname}/INDEX

With this section, rpmlint is happy and don't say anything anymore, but 
I still can't find the DESCRIPTION file of the man folder

So is it normal ?
Shouldn't rpm/rpmlint give a warning/error when I try to %exclude and 
files that are not found or when I try to set them as %doc ?

Some lights would be appreciate :)

Thanks,
