Weird policy which prohibits to install documentation on its own. This prohibits not only packaging, but also cross-compilation, because in both cases is install root != system root. That said, what you committed earlier today into README.packaging doesn't work. It isn't sufficient to package gnustep-make, it also has to be installed. Setting aside debian-type packaging doesn't build by binary package, but by source package, which makes it impossible to install a package not yet built, Documentation/GNUmakefile line 37ff attempts to go such a route without packaging, but it's buggy and/or incomplete. But I mentioned the latter already. I have another ~15 bugs similar to this one stacked. Markus -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.
