Coin,

Between may, and probably since Ruby 2.1 took over 2.0, something changes in the rdoc behavior. In the past 'rdoc/js/jquery.js' was created, and i removed and replaced it with a symlink to avoid shipping copies (with a dependency on libjs-jquery in the -doc package). Someone rebuilded ruby-builder recently and discovered a FTBFS (see #760909).

As this change probably makes several packages FTBFS, and as the proper symlink to the JS file is not created either, this feels like a regression to me. There's no reason a generated rdoc directory is not usable directly by pointing a browser into it (packaged or not), but it currently fails because it cannot find the 'jquery.js' file. So i'd like your opinion on this before acting on my affected packages.

Regards.
