Folks,
Just got this request from Mark Recht, who maintains an RPM package library at
www.pkgsrc.org. It seems that we don't have an option for compile for our
docs which is standard with other Linux tools. How difficult would this be
to add? It would help Mark keep our packages updated.

Like discussed on IRC just a few seconds ago ;-)
From a packaging point of view tt'd be nice if PostgreSQL would have an
extra
--with-htmldir
option. By default pkgsrc seperates "normal" documentation and HTML
documentation. The former goes to ${PREFIX}/share/doc/<pkg> the latter to
${PREFIX}/share/doc/html/<pkg>. Currently, with only --docdir, the sources
have to be patched to archieve that.
Cheers,
Marc

pkgsrc is a NetBSD package library, not an RPM library. We do have a target
to "compile" the documentation, which is how the documentation is built in
the first place. I don't know what "standard" there is about that.

I think what he was actually asking for was to provide a relatively
simple way (like a configure option) of installing the HTML docs into
a different directory from the plaintext docs. It didn't sound like an
unreasonable request ...

You can use --with-docdir. There are no other docs besides the HTML
ones, so this allows you to place the HTML docs anywhere you like.
