Subject: clarify file format for "provides"
The section about "provides" does not explicitly say what path format is required. I assume "unix" because tar files are unix and the "no_index" section specifies "unix". Maybe either a general statement at the top of the spec (perhaps near "DATA TYPES") or an explicit statement beneath "provides" would be appropriate. Thanks!

That's a good idea. Thank you. Patched in the repo and will be in the next release.
