I've added done some rewrites of the dohtml tool so to solve some of the long-standing problems reported to be by zhen amongst others. It's not a complete rewrite, but more of a shine-up with some feature additions. I now use optparse for the options parsing, since that's probably more robust than the tiny parser I wrote myself for the previous version. Two notable feature additions: 1) The -p option allows you to easily install html files into a subdirectory in /usr/share/doc/${PF}/html. For Java, packages, we want to install all api docs inside the .../${PF}/html/api/ directory 2) The -f option allows you to include particular files that have no extensions, thus selectively bypassing the extension filtering. For Java documentation, we want to include the 'package-list' file, without also including all other extension-less files. If any of you have any further requests for dohtml, now is the time to notify me:) I'll also solicit gentoo-dev for more input on the matter.
Created attachment 32595 [details] dohtml 0.1.2 I can also append a patch if you prefer.
