Given this snippet:


%files -f ruby.files
...
%files devel -f ruby-devel.files

I speculate (since the rpm manual is not very helpful on the matter) that
if --target= is not specified then the first file command will execute but
not the third and include all of the files listed in ruby.files only
whereas if --target=devel is specified to the rpmbuild command then the
first and second commands will execute and include the contents of
ruby.files and ruby-devel.files.

Is my understanding of this correct or in what matter is it defective?

Regards,
