Bugzilla Bug 202574

Hi!

I have just noticed that itpp-4.0.0.ebuild installs the generated HTML
documentation (USE=doc) into /usr/share/doc/itpp and the rest of documentation
files are installed into /usr/share/doc/itpp-4.0.0.

According to GNU Coding Standards, the default docdir setting is
$(datarootdir)/doc/yourpkg, which results in /usr/share/doc/itpp. But Gentoo
installs documentation packages into directories named using package versions.

To fix this problem, the configure script should be given an explicit --docdir
setting.

PS. I have not verified other itpp ebuilds, but this should be checked for at
least itpp-3.10.12 (the current stable). Others (4.0.0-rc2 and 3.99.3.1) should
be removed since itpp-4.0.1 stable is now available.

Thanks for pointing this out, Adam; I just fixed this
in the itpp-4.0.1 ebuild. I haven't had a chance to look
at 3.10.12 yet but I will do so later.

cheers,
Markus

Thanks. itpp-3.10.12 is free of this problem, because at that time "--docdir"
switch not existed in autoconf. I manually added support using "--with-docdir",
which by default installed the documentation to /usr/share/doc/itpp-VERSION.

But, what about 4.0.0? I suggest you remove it from portage, since I do not
expect regressions in 4.0.1 and it is still not marked stable on any
architecture.

I'll remove 4.0.0 soon but I'd like to keep it around for another
week or so just to be sure. Most people will pull in 4.0.1 and
should be fine.
