Bug 679360 – dev-libs/xerces-c-3.2.2-r1[-doc] installs html docs outside /usr/share/doc/${PF}

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Mayo 2019-03-03 19:51:20 UTC]

$ ls /usr/share/doc/xerces-c*
/usr/share/doc/xerces-c:
html

/usr/share/doc/xerces-c-3.2.2-r1:
CREDITS.bz2  KEYS.bz2  NOTICE.bz2  README


1) Changing the ebuild to EAPI 7 sets the correct path, cmake-utils contains this:

	if [[ ${EAPI} != [56] ]]; then
		cat >> "${common_config}" <<- _EOF_ || die
			SET (CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR "${EPREFIX}/usr/share/doc/${PF}" CACHE PATH "")
			SET (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS ON CACHE BOOLEAN "")
		_EOF_
	fi


2) Doesn't appear to be any way of disabling the installation in CMakeLists.txt. Perhaps optionally remove after cmake-utils_src_install (it is nearly 1200 files).
