It does not have to be a privacy breach... Using link is fine a long as the user has a chance to notice they point to an external URL. What should be avoided are , ,font, etc that are loaded automatically. Cheers, Bill.

So fonctionaly, you only need a single URL, not the whole set of URL provided by https://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/dochtml/html-stable/ ? This is important, because it is possible to convert PARI documentation to HTML instead of PDF (with pod2html) but it will not look like https://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/dochtml/html-stable/ at all... In particular it is missing an index.html page. > I noticed that Debian's src:giac does not ship it (because it's an > embedding), hence the link is dead. > > My plan is to depend on pari-doc and link to what's there. In the mean > time, I'm linking to pari's homepage (a privacy breach, but better than > a broken link). I suggest you write a simple HTML document which lists the links to the PDF files in file:///usr/share/doc/pari-doc and then patches giac to open this URL. (or use doc-base to do it for you, after all, all the pari documents are registered with doc-base). If you feel this to be inadequate for, then I can consider shipping the pod2html-generated fils in the packages. Cheers, -- Bill. Imagine a large red swirl here.

The upstream src:giac package ships a doc/pari with that documentation, and clicking in xcas' help menu for "PARI/GP documentation" opens it in a browser. I noticed that Debian's src:giac does not ship it (because it's an embedding), hence the link is dead. My plan is to depend on pari-doc and link to what's there. In the mean time, I'm linking to pari's homepage (a privacy breach, but better than a broken link). Cheers, J.Puydt

Bug#1001557: Ship html documentation
Package: pari-doc Version: 2.13.3-1 Severity: wishlist The pari-doc package only ships documentation in tex, dvi and pdf. For the giac package, I would need some html documentation too, like what can be found in: https://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/dochtml/html-stable/ Thanks, J.Puydt
