I was wondering (again...)

Is there any reason to use /usr/doc/heartbeat and not
/usr/usr/doc/%{name}-%{version} as all the other polite rpms does?

very curious today... :)

No. As you've seen in my makefiles, they predate having all those nice
macros in the Specfile, so I support it in a little different way, but I
think that Volker had suggested the current format some time in the dim
and distant past...

Actually I think it was me who was asking for this. The reason is that
I am using the tar source files and not the rpm files. And here its a problem
when you issue a 'make install' and for each new version you get a
new directory with heartbeat doc files.
