Well, there are still the info files. Whether it is grave or important
to not include the html docs, this I leave to the maintainer.
However, the bug can be fixed by adding rsync to Build-Depends-Indep.
At least this helped when I tried in a pbuilder chroot, using
"debian/rules binary-indep". I'm currently trying with
pbuilder/dpkg-buildpackage and a complete build.
However, I think even if this helps to re-include the html
documentation, there is still a bug left, and that is that the package
builds fine even when this command fails. Why this is so I don't know
offhand, but it might be that this (from GNUMakefile.in):
for a in `find . -name out-www`; do \
rsync -a --link-dest $$a/ $$a/ $$a/.. ; \
rm -rf $$a ; \
done \
will not cause Make to fail when rsync is missing because only the last
command counts. If that's true, then
rsync -a --link-dest $$a/ $$a/ $$a/.. && rm -rf $$a ; \
might do (or not, since the for loop might still be successful if only
the first rsync call fails for some reason.
While using binary-indep, I noticed that there are some files left in
debian/tmp/. Is this intended?
