While working my way through emdebian packages, I noticed that the debhelper config files of many packages still contain references to info files or man pages. Here are some examples from my notes:
e2fsprogs: packages contain man pages and info files installed by .files files. exoat: FTBFS due to expat.install referring to a man page removed in the emdebian packaging. file: packages contain man pages installed through .install files. ncurses: packages contain man pages installed by .files files. pam: FTBFS due to libpam-runtime.files referring to a man page removed in the emdebian packaging. There may be others that I haven't caught yet. I propose that we systematically remove all entries in /usr/share/doc, /usr/share/man, and /usr/share/info from *.install, *.files, and *.links. We can do it to all existing packages in svn, and add this functionality to em_make so that it is automatically applied to future packages. Comments? PS. I will be gone next week, and come back the week after. -- Chuan-kai Lin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
