Because all documentation in /usr/share/doc in Gentoo is gzipped, "Options MultiViews" seems to be required to be able to browse these pages (if they are html ones).
I'm afraid I dont see why. If I browse http://myserver/doc/maildrop-1.5.2/html/ I see everytyhing properly. I tested with other html files; they've all worked properly. Maybe you'd be willing to complete a better/more informative bug report. This doesnt tell me much, and I dont see any problems.
Oh, sorry: In currenct setup you can browse files from directory indexes, but you cannot follow local links inside these files, simply because my doc files are gzipped during installation. Link searches for to http://myserver/doc/path/file.html, but file is actually http://myserver/doc/path/file.html.gz. Turning on MultiViews is the simplest way to fix it.
I'd argue html files shouldnt be getting gzipped... there's a 'dohtml' command for ebuilds to facilitate this... I guess its no problem to add the multiviews though, so whichever way you want to go is fine by me. Any further comments?
I dont have a problem with it. Added in cvs, thanks for the bug report.
