When the %files section in spec contains %exclude, the Size: field in the binary package is wrong - apparently rpmbuild adds the excluded file size instead of subtracting it. See the attached package for an example. --- ---
Bug was even worse compared to reported. Fixed in rpm-build-4.0.4-alt26
This change apparently broke hardlink size count. $ rpmquery --qf '%{SIZE}\n' git-core 77763224 $
Fixed in rpm-4.0.4-alt95 (Sisyphus and branch 4.1), backported to rpm-4.0.4-alt77.M40.2 (branch 4.0). Also fixed in rpm5.org.
