Full Text Bug Listing

When emerging avrdude, using texi2html version 1.76 i reach an error during
make
"unknown command `@hfill` (left as is)"
"unknown command `@vfill` (left as is)" and texi2html fails to generate the
html files
using texi2html v1.64 however works fine.

The problem is that texi2html creates a new directory called avrdude when
called with 
texi2html -split node avrdude.texi 
in the doc directory. Most likley this is a new behavior, which is why the bug
occurs. Also note that it isn't texi2html that fails, but 
mv *.html avrdude-html
since all the html-files are in the sub-directory avrdude.

A patch is attached that fixes doc/Makefile.am and doc/Makefile.in to look for
the avrdude subdirectory as well as *.html files i ./ so it should work for
both new and old versions of texi2html. I'll send it to the avrdude developers,
but if it goes into portage now it should fix the problem until the next
version of avrdude is released.

A patch thhat fixes the Makefiles to look for the directory that newer versions
of texi2html creates.

This bug should propably be reassigned to bug-wranglers@gentoo.org or
dev-embedded@gentoo.org

The problem with the original path is that make doesn't detect that texi2html
already has been ran, so it runs it again for the install-phase, causing mv to
fail when the avrdude-html dir already exists.

The new version of the patch fixes this by simply rm -rf'ing the dir before any
mv is attempted.

This patch should work, I installed avrdude using the portage ebuild and this
patch by:

ebuild <ebuild> unpack
cd <tmp-dir> ; patch -p1 < <patch-file>
ebuild <ebuild> compile
ebuild <ebuild> install
ebuild <ebuild> qmerge

It appears to work nicely. 
Please add ~amd64 to avrdude and mark #91905 resolved while you're at it.

A better patch, one that works...

Thanks Lukas.   
 
Sorry I haven't got an amd64 to confirm this on however you've done the right 
thing with bug 91905. 
 
amd64 donations gratefully accepted:-)
