Bug#466277: [ocaml.mk] add the ability to install the API reference in a different package
Package: ocaml-nox
Version: 3.10.1-1
Severity: normal
The automatic generation of the ocamldoc API reference for -dev packages
looks into the installation directory of a given package. Then it
generates the ocamldoc API reference and installs it in the *very same*
package on which ocamldoc has been invoked.
This is suboptimal since for large -dev packages the HTML API reference
can get quite big, and shipping it in a corresponding -doc package is
desirable.
To this end, the ocaml.mk CDBS class should be changed so that the
target directory (or package) where the API reference should be
installed is customizable. Probably, just moving the "-d dir" flag used
to specify the HTML destination directory to a Makefile variable which
can then be overridden from debian/rules would be enough.
Cheers.
