I realized that the html/ directory where we ship the rivet manual pages is misplaced within the artifact. It's supposed to be in doc/ whereas rivet-3.2.3.tar.gz has it in the root directory. The mistake is due to an erroneous execution of a step in the process of creating the tar ball. I usually follow these process steps

 + a pristine source tree is created using 'git archive'
 + the configure file is created within the source tree using 'autoreconf'
 + the autom4te.cache directory is removed
+ the HTML manual is generated within the working copy and it's copied into $(sourcetree)/doc/html.

Copying doc/html instead of creating it avoids running ./configure within the pristine source tree and enables us to have a cleaner tree.

Given the non-frequent releases of rivet I never got bothered writing a shell script to automate those 4 steps. And eventually it struck
