Package: viewcvs
Version:  0.9.2+cvs.1.0.dev.2004.07.28-1.4

The instructions under README.Debain are incorrect. I find 
that if you try and alias the /doc/viewcvs directory as per 
instructions, you will get a 403 error when you access 
/doc/viewcvs/ because debian has some specific requirements 
with the already aliased /doc directory.
The httpd.conf file has the following:

# Allow access to local system documentation from localhost.
# (Debian Policy assumes /usr/share/doc is "/doc/", at least 
from the localhost.)
Alias /doc/ /usr/share/doc/

<Location /doc>
  order deny,allow
  deny from all
  allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
</Location>


This has meant that i've disabled the /doc directory. If I 
try to alias /doc/viewcvs as well and override the Location 
directive, it wont work because Debian is placing its own 
viewcvs docs under /doc/viewcvs and the files that I need 
(/usr/share/viewcvs/) are under /doc/viewcvs/html

I am using debian sarge.
