Hey, thanks for this script. It's an interesting start, at least. A couple of points: 1) Your copyright notice is kind of hidden in the html head tag.

debian have a similar and much nicer tool called dwww which merges
all html-doc, htmlized infopages, and htmlized manpages into one
uniform system. I think gentoo being better should have an equivelant.
But as of yet, no such equivelant exists, which I think is sad, as
in my experience, the documentation available to gentoo as a whole is
/much/ superior to that on competing distros I have encounted.

If so, how would one do that? See DOC_SYMLINKS_DIR in make.conf (man page I think, or .example) Thanks, I was able to track it down from that hint. For the record: Read about it in man make.conf. The description there is quite sparse, and I haven't done any emerges since I set it, so I'm not sure exactly how it works. I think it just sets version-independent symlinks, and leaves it up to you whether to bookmark them. Unless there's more going on, I'm going to prefer my little script. It builds a web page with current links, organized by package. I run it in a cron job several times a week, so it's pretty much up-to-date.These are all listed unless they are linked from another index.html higher in the directory structure. This makes most of the entries pretty clean, with a few notable exceptions: boost, java, apache, drscheme, python-docs and mplayer among the packages I have. I'll probably tweak these when I get some time. For me the main advantage is in doing a quick check to see if a given package actually has any index.html files anywhere under /usr/share/doc. Just browsing to the index file can be a pain sometimes, and my patience is usually thinner than usual when I'm desperately seeking documentation.
