With 300 or so potential packages, kde's application and meta ebuilds should put its README and AUTHORS documentation (mostly just a README file) in a kde subdirectory in /usr/share/doc, not as folders in the doc directory. It creates far too much clutter otherwise. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge kde-meta* or a kde application 2. view /usr/share/doc 3. new folders for kde applications created Actual Results: /usr/share/doc/kate-3.4.1 for example ----> AUTHORS.gz ----> README.gz Expected Results: /usr/share/doc/kde/kate-3.4.1 ----> AUTHORS.gz ----> README.gz This would create just one folder in /usr/share/doc, instead of # ls /usr/share/doc -lrt total 248 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:30 kdeartwork-wallpapers-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:32 kdeartwork-kwin-styles-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:33 kdeartwork-emoticons-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:34 kdeartwork-kworldclock-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:36 kdeartwork-iconthemes-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:40 kdeartwork-kscreensaver-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:41 kdeartwork-styles-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:42 kdeartwork-icewm-themes-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:43 kdeartwork-sounds-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 10:11 kdat-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 10:12 kcron-3.4.1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 26 10:14 kuser-3.4.1 ....
The doc handling does need to be fixed. Today each split ebuild installs a copy of the toplevel docs which are usually worthless and if not should indeed be installed by the -meta ebuild. Split ebuilds should install the README, AUTHORS etc files from inside their own subdirs.
9 months. Anything going to be done? If not, just close.
Added a workaround to kde.eclass.
