Some additional infos about this DOC_SYMLINKS_DIR feature, since it
seems the ebuild(5) doc has not been merged:
- the symlinks are not automatically created to any /usr/share/doc/
subdir that the ebuild creates, but only to {$PF,$P}/{html,HTML}.
So, if a package installs something else (/usr/share/doc/$PF/manual
for instance), it won't be bookmarked by default.
- an ebuild can force bookmarking of an other directory by setting the
HTMLDOC_DIR variable. With my previous example, setting it to
"$PF/manual" (ie. the path without its /usr/share/doc prefix) would be
fine. And, if a package installs several doc dirs (lets
say /usr/share/doc/$PF/{manual,apidoc,faq}), the best is probably to
set HTMLDOC_DIR=$PF (since there is only one symlink that can be created
per package).
And now the open question for PMS people: is this worth being in
EAPI-0, or is it just a Portage specific trick?
