Description Mark Wielaard 2010-06-04 09:57:48 UTC
Description of problem:

The SystemTap Beginners Guide is missing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

systemtap-1.2-3.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look for /usr/share/doc/systemtap-1.2/SystemTap_Beginners_Guide*

Actual results:

Nothing there.

Expected results:

PDF and HTML versions of the guide.

Additional info:

The spec file disables publican support, but publican is now available in the optional repository, so it should be enabled to generate the documentation.

Unfortunately, publican is only available on i686/x86-64, since java is absent
on ppc64/s390x.  I guess on x86* only we could build docs.
