+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; So, maybe we should do something about this.&#160; My
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> preference would
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; have rpm still complain about unpackaged %excluded
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> files, but not
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; die, just give a warning instead.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Personally, I don't see the point in using %exclude to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> exclude files
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> completely from all sub packages. We can just use &quot;rm&quot; in
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> %install section for that (we typically already do that to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> remove *.la
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> files for example).
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So for me %exclude should only operate on subpackage file
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> list and
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> should only be useful to undo any wildcard inclusions:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> e.g.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> %files
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> %{_libdir}/foo/*
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> %exclude %{_libdir}/foo/something-in-another-sub-package
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> %files -n sub
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> %{_libdir}/foo/something-in-another-sub-package
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> That kind of thing.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> That, to me, seems most logical. I'm not sure what the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> upstream
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> behaviour is, but I would agree that we should follow it all
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the same
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> even if the goal would be to push for upstream changes when
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> needed.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Cheers
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Col
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So, if we want to follow Colin's suggestion, we drop the patch. &#160;The patch changes upstream behavior, and adds the extra usage of %exclude, which as Colin and I pointed out, you can just rm things in %install (or patch Makefiles) instead.
+</I>
+WE DON'T USE ANY PATCH FOR THIS AND WE USE UPSTREAM %EXCLUDE BEHAVIOUR
