ping.  anyone on this?  It's trivial...

please note the doc/ symlink should be deleted and recreated when upgrading viewcvs, to match the new location of the help files. maybe there is be a better workaround.

yeah, the ebuild needs to be updated to do a:

dosym /usr/share/doc/${PF}/html /etc/viewcvs/doc

in src_install()

[Comment 4 Julien Allanos (RETIRED) 2004-02-12 08:53:58 UTC]

confirmed, it works well with the dosym.

[Comment 5 Stuart Herbert (RETIRED) 2004-04-23 01:43:16 UTC]

I've added the missing dosym into 'viewcvs-0.9.2_p20030430-r1.ebuild'.  Please test it, and let me know if it works for you.
