Bug 131648 – linux docs should be provided by separate package

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Philipp Riegger 2006-04-29 02:29:14 UTC]

emerge hardened-sources fails because the man-pages belong to the same ebuild but another slot. I had that several times, the last time when i had hardened-sources-2.6.16-r5 installed and wanted to install hardened-sources-2.6.14-r7. Without FEATURES="collision-protect" everything works fine, of course. USE-Flags are "doc -build -symlink"

I think this goes back to our idea for a separate linux-doc package which every kernel with USE=doc depends on... Any volunteers?

I'm working on a seperate package for this.

I've added sys-kernel/linux-docs to portage, the first step of solving this bug.

Next step is to have it marked stable on the respective archs. When that is done we can remove the USE=doc code from kernel-2.eclass.

all done

I'd like to have the doc USE-flag back and have all kenels depend on linux-docs then.
