Re: Mass Bug Filing: Doxygen Group Commands (was: Search content (.h files) of all (-dev) packages?)



> mass-bug-filing against the ones that FTBFS

Thanks for the idea. Fails To Build From Source. Although not tested, I 
guess, not one (-doc) package will fail to build. Doxygen simply ignores 
group commands in standard comments by now. Doxygen requires everything 
to be in a Special Comment Block [1] by now.

My issue is like a nit-pick about those projects' Doxygen compatible 
documentation because I do not even know if they still support Doxygen. 
For those who do support Doxygen, this might be beneficial because the 
cause of the error was terrible to find, at least for me. However, I am 
really unsure how to report that.

On the other hand, looking at the first dozen projects, quite a lot had 
not run Doxygen for years, some not for a decade. Actually, I picked 
Digium Asterisk as a larger project. The first challenge was to 
configure Doxygen "correctly". After that, I faced 2369 warnings. And 
the few existing group commands were all left-overs actually.

Currently, I do not think I mass-bug-file: It is simply a too small 
issue in far too many projects.
