Bug#193037: classpath-doc: documentation not in /usr/share/doc
Package: classpath-doc
Version: 0.05-1
Severity: normal
I do not know if I have to fill a bug for this, but I think the
classpath-doc package put the api documenation in a wrong directory.
According to the Debian Policy:
13.3 Additional documentation
Any additional documentation that comes with the package
may be installed at the discretion of the package
maintainer. Text documentation should be installed in
the directory /usr/share/doc/package, where package is
the name of the package, and compressed with gzip -9
unless it is small.
If this have been discussed before, forgive me and forget my mail.
First, in the control file, for classpath-doc, shouldn't the
architecture be all and not any?
Now, to resolve the problem, simply add a file in the debian
directory: classpath-doc.docs with one line: doc/*
and remove these lines in the rule (install target):
#move documentation into separate package
mkdir -p `pwd`/debian/classpath-doc/usr/share/classpath
mv $(CURDIR)/debian/classpath/usr/share/classpath/api `pwd`/debian/classpath-doc/usr/share/classpath
It works for me.
