Created attachment 467098 [details, diff] Do not uninstall standard package documentation The ebuilds for gnupg from 2.0.17 through current 2.1.19-r1 delete some standard documentation before attempting to install them, whether or not the 'doc' USE flag is enabled. All the recent ebuilds do: ... DOCS=( ChangeLog NEWS README THANKS TODO VERSION doc/FAQ doc/DETAILS doc/HACKING doc/TRANSLATE doc/OpenPGP doc/KEYSERVER ) ... src_install() { ... emake DESTDIR="${ED}" -f doc/Makefile uninstall-nobase_dist_docDATA ... That 'uninstall...' make target has the effect of deleting those files under doc/ in the image directory. (After the implied dodoc in base.eclass deploys them, I guess?) This change was first introduced about six years ago, and appears to have been carried over to every gnupg ebuild since: https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-crypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.0.17.ebuild?hideattic=0&r1=1.7&r2=1.8 But the diffs and the referenced bug (#356501) don't seem to line up with the stated intention in the log message - the change went too far. And/or that make target used to mean something different from what it does now. The ebuild does have a doc USE flag, but it has no impact here - that flag controls the installation of various additional .html files. The few files in DOCS= under the doc/ subdirectory would be reasonable to deploy w/o USE=docs, and indeed they used to be before that change.

Thanks! Added to gnupg-2.1.19-r2
