Description Ian Pickworth 2020-04-27 12:39:26 UTC
I installed catalyst as follows:
Installed versions:  3.0.9(10:10:01 25/04/20)(doc iso system-bootloader -ccache KERNEL="linux" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_6 -python3_7 -python3_8")

In man catalyst-spec it says:
FILES
       Example specfiles can be found in
       /usr/share/doc/catalyst-3.0.9/examples.

However, this directory does not contain an examples directory after install:
catalyst ~ # tree /usr/share/doc/catalyst-3.0.9/
/usr/share/doc/catalyst-3.0.9/
├── AUTHORS.bz2
├── docbook-xsl.css
├── HOWTO.html
├── README.bz2
└── TODO.bz2

0 directories, 5 files
catalyst ~ # 

I believe it is because the ebuild omits examples for doc use flag:
(From catalyst-3.0.9.ebuild):
python_install_all() {
	distutils-r1_python_install_all
	if use doc; then
		dodoc files/HOWTO.html files/docbook-xsl.css
	fi
}

The spec example files are really useful, could they be included please?



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge catalyst
2. look for /usr/share/doc/catalyst-3.0.9/examples

Actual Results:  
/usr/share/doc/catalyst-3.0.9/examples
does not exist

Expected Results:  
/usr/share/doc/catalyst-3.0.9/examples
should exist with contents from https://github.com/gentoo/catalyst/tree/master/examples

Patch to include the examples directory in /usr/share/doc/catalyst-{version}

I have created this patch to include the contents of the examples directory into /usr/share/doc/catalyst-{version}

Tested it on my machine - works.

Patch presented for your consideration.

I needed to use the same ebuild patch for catalyst-3.0.12. The examples are missing from the repository's ebuild.
Comment 3 Pierre Asselin 2023-02-19 00:45:22 UTC
For what it's worth: bug still present in catalyst-3.0.21-r1 .
