Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2015-06-04 09:05:54 UTC 
nonfatal dosym /usr/share/doc/${PF}/html/${PN} /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/${PN}


This is just plain wrong... dosym can only fail if ${D}/usr/share/gtk-doc/html doesn't exist... so wtf?

Also, please just respect standard upstream gtk-doc install location instead of enforcing meaningless, creepy /usr/share/doc/${PF}/html...

Comment 3 Alexander Tsoy 2015-09-24 19:08:40 UTC 
JFYI: there are two problems with this change:

1. Orphaned directory and symlink are left after upgrade:
# qfile -o /usr/share/doc/*
/usr/share/doc/libindicate-12.10.1-r1
# stat --printf='%N\n' /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libindicate
«/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libindicate» -> «/usr/share/doc/libindicate-12.10.1-r1/html/libindicate»

So the following is shown after package merges:
 * One or more symlinks to directories have been preserved in order to
 * ensure that files installed via these symlinks remain accessible. This
 * indicates that the mentioned symlink(s) may be obsolete remnants of an
 * old install, and it may be appropriate to replace a given symlink with
 * the directory that it points to.
 * 
 *  /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libindicate
 * 

2. Examples are installed into /usr/share/doc/${PN}

# qfile /usr/share/doc/libindicate*
dev-libs/libindicate (/usr/share/doc/libindicate-12.10.1-r2)
dev-libs/libindicate (/usr/share/doc/libindicate)
# ls /usr/share/doc/libindicate/
