Apparently. From my perspective, the packagers are being overly strict about the whole matter. This is yet another example of distribution policies being applied far too aggressively, to the detriment of upstreams and users of the end product - who end up with no documentation, or documentation which has been regenerated with a different version of Doxygen and can therefore potentially be broken due to changes between versions of Doxygen. Please note that the Debian packagers for Doxygen have stated that other packagers are simply going to have to tolerate the minified version of jQuery as that is how Doxygen works - why are you ignoring that notice? In any event, as the whole content of documentation directory is generated using an automated tool anyway, modification of it shouldn't be made directly anyway - but to the actual source code / Doxygen control files / templates / etc, which is provided already if I understand correctly. Finally, telepathy-qt is not a KDE product and this discussion is therefore off topic for this mailing list. Packagers, I'd suggest you bend the rules in this case. > > Regards, > - Michael Pyne Regards, Ben > _______________________________________________ > release-team mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
