Description Jason Shoemaker (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-20 07:12:29 UTC
MySQL's html reference manual is placed in
/usr/share/doc/mysql-3.23.54a/conf-samples. I was quite surprised to see it
there.  ;)

I looked in the all the mysql ebuilds. (I rsync'd just a moment ago.) I saw
similar code in all their src_install():

[code from mysql-3.23.54a.ebuild]
	dodoc README COPYING COPYING.LIB MIRRORS \
		Docs/{manual.ps,manual.txt}
	docinto conf-samples
	dodoc support-files/my-*.cnf
	dohtml -r Docs/*
[/code]

I suspect that the coder didn't realize that docinto changed the path for
dochtml also.

[code]
	dodoc README COPYING COPYING.LIB MIRRORS \
		Docs/{manual.ps,manual.txt}
	dohtml -r Docs/*           # <---- placed before docinto
	docinto conf-samples
	dodoc support-files/my-*.cnf
[/code]

This places the html reference manual where it was expected. (e.g.
/usr/share/doc/mysql-3.23.54a-r1/html) Like PostgreSQL has also.

If I'm mistakes, could someone explain the placement to me?

Thanks for any help you can provide. :)
