As a workaround, include in your InstallScript 'cp -r docsdir 
%i/share/doc/%n', and forget about using DocFiles for that directory.

[Fink-devel] DocFiles directory tree

[Trevor Harmon]

Hi,
The DocFiles field in a .info file can take any number of files and 
wildcards. However, the doc files that I would like to include in my 
package consist of several hundred files several directories deep. 
There seems to be no way of telling DocFiles, "Add this directory, and 
all of the files in all of its subdirectories, to the DocFiles list, 
and preserve the original directory structure." In other words, 
DocFiles cannot recurse, and I am forced to add dozens and dozens of 
lines to the field. Is there a workaround? (I suppose I could write an 
install script to do it.) If not, I think DocFile recursion should be 
in the next version of Fink. Thanks,

Trevor
