Hi,

  I would like to know if there exists a way to build a set of package 
Developer documentation.  For example, many of our package are written in C/C++ 
and use Doxygen to generate API reference.  I understand that yocto/bitbake has 
some support for user documentation such as info and man pages.  I was 
wondering if there was more to it.

  The way I would like it to work would be to have in the image's recipe a 
different variable then IMAGE_INSTALL which would serve the same purpose maybe 
DEVAPI_INSTALL and would go through those package only and call a task such as 
"do_build_devdoc" and maybe "do_install_devdoc", then packaging it into a 
FILES_*-devdoc set of instruction so that I may packages files at the end 
containing those docs.

  The image would then install those documentation in the sysroot under some 
folder, maybe /usr/share/devdoc/<packagename>/ and potentially create a tarball 
of this documentation.

   Anyway, let me know if something similar pre-exists or if such a project has 
been started somehow please, as I would like to contribute/participate.
