Bug 251422 – dev-util/tailor-0.9.30: handle html documentation

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin von Gagern 2008-12-18 09:29:34 UTC]

I noticed that dev-util/tailor-0.9.30 installs README.html.bz2 instead of html/README.html into its doc directory. HTML symlink doesn't work either. This is due to distutils_src_install calling dodoc for README.* instead of using dohtml for HTML files.

I can think of three sensible places to address this issue, with increasingly wider effects:
1. single ebuild: will attach a patch to this effect.
2. distutils.eclass: invoke dohtml instead of dodoc for *.html and *.htm files
3. dodoc portage tool: redirect to dohtml for *.html and *.htm files

Fix in ebuild

This patch addresses the issue in the ebuild by calling dohtml for README.html and removing the README.html file installed by dodoc via distutils_src_install. Luckily the ecompress queue doesn't complain for removed files.
