Bug#1055461: configure support for local copy of php-doc
Package: php-elisp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: sten@debian.org
Currently the elpa-php-mode connects to the internet to access
php-doc; however, when I initially adopted the package, I had planned
to configure support for a local copy of php-doc; however, I was
blocked by #903999. Accessing the internet for the latest available
documentation is a feature, but if the PHP versions don't match, then
the docs will mislead. This is also arguably a generic privacy issue.
Finally, in Debian we try to provide and operating system that is
useful, and well-documented even when disconnected from a network.
Progress has finally been unblocked, but I find myself short on free
time/motivation, and suspect that I'll forget to implement this
fix...thus the need for this bug.
One thing I'm not sure about is if elpa-php-mode should default to the
internet copy or the local copy of docs, because there are good
arguments for each option.
