Ok, thanks for the notice, this has been fixed for the latest version. I ended up using a patch to the makefile.am's since they contained lines like:
install-data-local:
$(INSTALL) -d $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/doc/$(PACKAGE_NAME)
Is there a particular variable I could use instead of altering the above to be $(PACKAGE_NAME)-$(PACKAGE_VERSION)? Ideally one that would get passed in by econf... 5:)
autoconf 2.63 and later already have a --docdir option and a tied docdir variable in the Makefile. So you should be able to just define doc_DATA = FILE1 FILE2 FILE3 instead of using custom rules. Just committed a much better fix, thanks very much! 5:) Doh, meant to leave that FIXED (sorry). |
You're getting this bug because the package in summary installs its documentation (or at least part of it) outside the usual /usr/share/doc/${PF} directory. First, please keep in mind that this bug might not be noticeable for -r0 ebuilds, but it might be for -r1 and later, since if the ebuild has same name and version of the package, for -r0 it might correspond properly. To fix this, if the package uses autotools, recent version (autoconf 2.61+) have two ./configure switches: --docdir and --htmldir to decide where to put the documentation. Older versions might require you override docdir/htmldir or other custom variables during make install. For non-autotooled build systems, good luck, since I cannot tell you how to achieve the proper results, the same holds true with totally broken buildsystems even when based on autotools. Thanks, Diego
