Description Andy Kittner 2006-02-27 10:55:18 UTC
some of the documentation of fontconfig is not correctly installed:

from the ebuild:
    newman fc-cache/fc-cache.man fc-cache.1
    newman fc-list/fc-list.man fc-list.1
    newman src/fontconfig.man fontconfig.3


from install log:
cp: cannot stat `fc-cache/fc-cache.man': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `fc-list/fc-list.man': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `src/fontconfig.man': No such file or directory

fc-cache.1,  fc-list.1 and fc-match.1 seem to get installed by the make install target itself, but I am really missing doc/fonts-conf.5 as it is quite usefull in setting up a custom /etc/fonts/local.conf or $HOME/.fonts.conf

there is also a bunch of other usefull documention ind the doc/ subdirectory...

patch to make the ebuild install more docs

maybe someone knows where fontconfig.3 came from and where it is hiding now

The following patch adds a configure option to disable docs generation.

Comment 4 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-04-05 11:56:10 UTC
hmm I figured i rather go for the option in comment #1 ... generating the docs needs a load of deps and all the docs are pre-generated anyway, no point in doing it ourselves again.
Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-04-07 04:22:10 UTC
I went with the stuff proposed in comment #1 for 2.3.2-r1, it seems better for the users.

Anyway, upstream is really messy if it comes to docs, some docs are pregenerated, others aren't. The docbook patch really should be proposed upstream and there should be a decision made if they want to have all docs pregenerated in the tarball or not.

Also applied the docbook patch at a later stage to make sure docbook creation isn't even attempted.
