Re: transition from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc
Hi folks, For the last couple of couple of couple of hours, I have been trying every possible thing to make two packages I just adopted (ibrazilian and brazilian-conjugate) go outside of /usr/doc. I am attaching the diff-only patch to the ibrazilian source code in this e-mail (very small). Hopefully someone will be able to give me a hand, because I am getting tired of trying to achieve this.. :( Thanks, Carlos -- Carlos Laviola - ICQ 55799523 pub 1024D/3516D372 2000-06-05 Carlos Laviola [EMAIL PROTECTED] Key fingerprint = 3BE1 6591 C78C 2AA4 31DD AEEF 6406 0227 3516 D372 I have a solar vocal ail! What do you mean by `go outside of /usr/doc'? Currently /usr/doc/package should still be there (it is a symlink). Read section 13.4 of policy. Or did I misunderstood you? -- Shaul Karl [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hopefully someone will be able to give me a hand, because I am getting tired of trying to achieve this.. :( Looks fine. You can do dpkg-deb -c on the .debs produced just to check there's nothing in /usr/doc in the .debs themselves. Also, you can do without the manual symlinking of /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc, as debhelper puts in code to do that (dh_installdocs).

Looks fairly correct, although you don't need the shell code in postinst and prerm scripts if you use #DEBHELPER#. Are only Debian files put in /usr/doc/ibrazilian, or are there upstream things in there? If the former, check your debhelper version; if the latter, check the makefiles. -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
