The version can be removed from the path (need a hack in the XSLT).
Please advise if this is to be done.

I did not do scp2. gid_* is a wizardry I don't master. What I know is
the old help package is processed per modules (writer, calc...), per
language.

Correct.

Not scp2 so far. It is in

helpontent2/CustomTarget_*.mk

Forgive my ignorance, maybe I am missing something - but if you did the scp2
stuff correctly (and defined the gid_*s correctly) the packaging should just
pick it up? I mean, there's already help packaging doing that packing up
the old help.

So it basically only boils down to scp2.

How did the stuff end up in instdir anyway? With scp2? Or via some
manual hackery?

That would also solve it automatically for distributions who use
make disto-pack-install (which is basically a make install with writing
the contents of the gid_*s to gid_* files on disk so one can use those
for splitting the packages appropriately)

Rene

It was originally designed for online display, where many LOHelp
versions are hosted in the same server, and the version is passed as
param in the URL by LO.

The version can be removed from the path (need a hack in the XSLT).
Please advise if this is to be done.

Looks odd to me that the help content would be stored in the LO instset 
under a %PRODUCTVERSION dir.  Any given LO instset will only contain 
help content for the given LO version, anyway, I assume?

Call for help in MSI/DEB/RPM packaging for new help

[Olivier Hallot]

Hello all

We have a new help system where we use default browser to show help
pages. After some time spent looking into the way LO packages are build
I really need advise and help to proceed and build the necessary
packages to replace the old help.

It requires understanding of build process, makefiles and perl scripts
in scp2/ module.

The task looks simple: once the new help is built (--with-help=html),
the help files are available in core/instdir/help/6.1 so it must take
the 6.1/ folder and make a package, which is as simple as zipping it. Of
course, replace '6.1' by %PRODUCTVERSION.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116240
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115312

Any collaboration or help here is welcome. Question on the task here or
in #libreoffice-dev

Thank you all in advance.
