Hi all! A small question on how to configure a Debian package with proper installation of user documentation.
The package I'm looking at is netCDF [1] which – apart from the library and headers – installs the file ``` $ cat /usr/share/doc-base/netCDF Document: netCDF Title: NetCDF Manual Author: Russ Rew, Glenn Davis, Steve Emmerson, Harvey Davies, Ed Hartnett, Dennis Heimbigner, Ward Fisher Abstract: This manual describes what netCDF is, and how it can be used. Section: File Management Format: HTML Index: /usr/share/doc/netCDF/index.html Files: /usr/share/doc/netCDF/*.html ``` and of course a bunch of files in ``` $ ls /usr/share/doc/netCDF/* [...] ``` Up until now, I've always put all files of `/usr/share/doc/netCDF/*` into libnetcdf-doc, and the file `/usr/share/doc-base/netCDF` into the libnetcdf-dev package. With this, however, I'm getting ``` $ install-docs --verbose --check /usr/share/doc-base/netCDF Warning in `/usr/share/doc-base/netCDF', line 1: invalid value of `Document' field. Warning in `/usr/share/doc-base/netCDF', line 9: file `/usr/share/doc/netCDF/index.html' does not exist. Error in `/usr/share/doc-base/netCDF', line 9: all `Format' sections are invalid. ``` The second warning I understand, but I'm not sure how to best fix it. Move `/usr/share/doc-base/netCDF` into the doc package? The first warning and the error I don't understand. Ideas, anyone?
