Hello! I'm looking forward to helping kde-team as its member (I hope) and so - I started looking more curefuly in my ebuilds. After a small investigation I found, that few apps installed it HTML documentation in wrong directory. Normally kde apps install its documentation here: /usr/kde/KDEVER/share/doc/HTML/xx/yy but few installed HTML docs here: /usr/share/doc/HTML/xx/yy examples: basket-0.5.0 rekall-2.2.3-r1 systemtrayapplet2-0.51 ksmoothdock-3.6_beta1 kpager2-0.6.0a kbfx-0.4.7.3 kdevelop-3.2.0 kdbg-1.9.7 kmplayer-0.8.4a klamav-0.30.3 k3b-0.12.4a some of them are in portage, some are (mostly) my ebuilds that are somewhere on bugzilla... I'm not sure what causes this. For sure I know that problem is missing KDEDIR var. Anyway - this non-standard directory has caused one more problem - kde help center cannot find this documentation. So even when we install them, users won't be able to use it. Question is - how to deal with ebuilds of such an apps? 1) we can use set-kdedir function from eclass and put it somewhere in /etc/profile, so this could be done globally (missing KDEDIR var, cause various bug reports...) 2) we can edit each of this ebuilds and install it by hand These are two posibilities. But maybe they are wrong... :) PS. Sorry for my english. Cheers, Przemek
KDEDIR is deprecated and that all non kde.org applications install into /usr is intended.
ok - got it. thx for claryfing. Cheers, Przemek
