--disable-scrollkeeper means that "make install" won't try to update the scrollkeeper files. You still need to do that when the package is installed / uninstalled. > Laca, could you explain more about scrollkeeper? If there does not ship > scrollkeeper data, will we lose something? Scrollkeeper indexes the GNOME help documents using the OMF files that contain some metainfo. Whenever you install GNOME help docs and OMF files, you need to run scrollkeeper-update to update the index. If you don't, the document won't appear in yelp. Laca
