Description of problem: documentation is not found if system uses a non-default TEXDOCS path Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add non-standard directory to TEXDOCS in texmf.cnf 2. texdoc fails to find the new documentation 3.

The following patch would make it more consistent: --- src/Upstream-source/TeXLive/Build/source/texk/tetex/texdoc.orig 2007-03- 15 16:36:30.000000000 +0100 +++ src/Upstream-source/TeXLive/Build/source/texk/tetex/texdoc 2007-03-15 16:37:20.000000000 +0100 @@ -140,7 +140,7 @@ do case $mode in search) - find `kpsewhich --expand-path='$TEXMF/doc' | tr : ' '` -type f -print | + find `kpsewhich --expand-path='$TEXDOCS' | tr : ' '` -type f -print | egrep $name continue ;; (too simple to be copyrightable, of course).
