           Summary: gather_docs installs source files
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: 1.14.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: subroutines
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org

Default DOCS is defined in /etc/sorcery/config as DOCS='README* FAQ* CHAN* 
doc* 
DOC* conf SETUP LICENSE COPYING NEWS *rc'.

the *rc also matches the src subdir, which is not so rare. 
It seems I have a lot of useless sources installed. Proof:
$ grep -E '\.c(pp|)$' /var/log/sorcery/install/* | wc -l
3858
$ grep -El '\.c(pp|)$' /var/log/sorcery/install/* | wc -l
69 # spell count

One suggestion was to add a check to gather_docs to only copy regular files, 
but that would eliminate doc* from the default.

Reading the code I see *rc is copied twice and the second time the code has a 
comment asking why that chunk is there. Now it is obvious, the first run uses 
cp -r, but the second one, only for *rc, solely cp, so it doesn't copy over 
dirs.
The problem is that in the meantime, *rc must have been added to the default 
DOCS, resulting in this bug. So I suggest the removal of *rc from DOCS.
