First, please keep in mind that this bug might not be noticeable for -r0 ebuilds, but it might be for -r1 and later, since if the ebuild has same name and version of the package, for -r0 it might correspond properly. To fix this, if the package uses autotools, recent version (autoconf 2.61+) have two ./configure switches: --docdir and --htmldir to decide where to put the documentation. Older versions might require you override docdir/htmldir or other custom variables during make install. For non-autotooled build systems, good luck, since I cannot tell you how to achieve the proper results, the same holds true with totally broken buildsystems even when based on autotools. Thanks, Diego spock@gentoo.org 2008-10-14 19:24:08 0000 Fixed -- thanks for reporting the problem. gentoo@42productions.org 2009-03-14 22:20:44 0000 The pkg_postinst message should be modified as well. elog "Then read manpages and this html doc:" elog " /usr/share/doc/oprofile/oprofile.html" spock@gentoo.org 2009-03-22 07:52:15 0000 Fixed, thanks.
