media-sound/esound-0.2.36-r2 installs empty directory /usr/share/doc/esound/html/ Changing: emake -j1 DESTDIR="${D}" install || die "Installation failed" to emake -j1 DESTDIR="${D}" pkgdocdir="/usr/share/doc/${PF}" install || die "Installation failed" fixes this
Created attachment 115931 [details, diff] esound-0.2.37-r1.doc.patch Similarly with esound-0.2.37-r1, and can actually get rid of the dohtml.
0.2.37-r1 does not install that here: [14:24:46 athena] totem> equery f esound | grep doc /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.37-r1 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.37-r1/AUTHORS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.37-r1/ChangeLog.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.37-r1/MAINTAINERS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.37-r1/NEWS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.37-r1/README.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.37-r1/TIPS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.37-r1/TODO.bz2 I get essentially the same output (different version) on esound-0.2.36-r2. The reason for this, I believe, is the lack of a docs/html directory; the dohtml can indeed be removed, but the current install seems to be correct otherwise. Can you reproduce? Is /usr/share/doc/esound owned by anything on your box? Maybe it's left around by a very old install?
If I start with my esound-0.2.37-r2 installed (esound-0.2.37-r1 + patch #1), in /usr/share/doc: ll esound* -d drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-04-10 20:44 esound-0.2.37-r2 then after emerge esound-0.2.37-r1: ll esound* -d drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-04-16 21:02 esound drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-04-16 21:02 esound-0.2.37-r1 now esound/html is not empty but populated with the same files as esound-0.2.37-r1/html.

Apparently not. Are those files useful? I'm tempted to just not install them at all, under any circumstances, especially since esound is going away...
The html files have quite a bit of information, but they probably have not been updated for a while.
Any updates on this? Is it worth bothering (esd ...)?
The latest stable esound doesn't install any html documentation anymore ... closing.
It does for me, here's a sample: /usr/share/doc/esound/html/x308.html /usr/share/doc/esound/html/x47.html /usr/share/doc/esound/html/x66.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/a346.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/c19.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/c250.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/c271.html As #3 have you got app-text/docbook-sgml-utils installed?
Thought I'd selected reopen...
As much as I would like to help you, app-text/docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.14 refuses to build on my machine (nothing needs it in gnome anymore). Looking at the Makefile.am, I realized that "make install" should install something inside /usr/share/doc/esound/html/ but according to that "qfile esound" snippet you posted, it looks like your ebuild installs all the html files *twice*. :) If that's really the case, then I guess we can just drop the dohtml line entirely and let esound install its documentation wherever it sees fit (as I pointed out earlier, normal gnome installations should not have docbook-sgml-utils). Could you try just removing this line and telling us where/what files are installed? Thanks
Removing the dohtml and adding pkgdocdir="/usr/share/doc/${PF}" to emake install: /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/a346.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/c19.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/c250.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/c271.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/c285.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/c290.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/c32.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/c76.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/index.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/r311.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/r313.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x119.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x179.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x211.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x241.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x259.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x265.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x268.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x26.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x277.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x281.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x296.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x299.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x302.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x305.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x308.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x47.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/html/x66.html /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/AUTHORS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/NEWS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/ChangeLog.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/MAINTAINERS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/README.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/TIPS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/esound-0.2.38/TODO.bz2 /usr/share/doc/html/media-sound/esound
Fixed in CVS as esound-0.2.38-r1 (~arch). Esound configure/makefile scripts were bypassing standard install directories. Please take a look at files/esound-0.2.38-doc.patch if you want to see how I fixed it. Don't hesitate to reopen this bug if you still have issues :) Thanks
