I was working on an ebuild for a new package, and wanted to be able to install a directory of examples without doing too much extra work. So I ended up whipping a patch (attached) to dodoc that allows it to recursively install doc directories. I also added a DOCNOCOMPRESS variable which, if non-empty, tells dodoc not to compress the installed files.
Created an attachment (id=7971) [details] patch to enable dodoc to handle directories recursively
Created an attachment (id=15257) [details] dodoc this just makes dodoc a wrapper around doins ... why code something twice when you can do it once ? :)
Created an attachment (id=15258) [details] prepalldocs of course my new dodoc relies on a correctly working prepalldocs (and well the current one is pretty broken) so heres a better one !
Created an attachment (id=15259) [details] prepalldocs just a little too hasty there ;/
please add this asap
Any progress on this portage team?
Niadda progress wise. prepalldocs goes recursive, dodoc should have the option also imo.
Putting a hold on feature requests for portage as they are drowning out the bugs. Most of these features should be available in the next major version of portage. But for the time being, they are just drowning out the major bugs and delaying the next version's progress. Any bugs that contain patches and any bugs for etc-update or dispatch-conf can be reopened. Sorry, I'm just not good enough with bugzilla. ;)

Created an attachment (id=71865) [details] alternative dodoc patch My alternative patch - just touches dodoc. Assumes that every argument passed should be processed, and directories found traversed.
reopen for duping
