From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050909 Galeon/1.3.21 Description of problem: Info docs aren't being built. Rather than distribute manual.texi in /usr/share/doc/examples/rpy-0.4.6/, the package should build and install the manual to /usr/share/info/ so that it browseable via info. The package therefore also needs to add postinstall/postuninstall triggers as per: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ScriptletSnippets#head-117e9450bc166ceb4251bf8d87a9dd4e862442a4 Also the manual.info should be renamed rpy.info before packaging. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpy-0.4.6-1.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -ql rpy Actual Results: /usr/share/doc/rpy-0.4.6/doc/manual.texi appears, no /usr/share/info/rpy.info Expected Results: /usr/share/info/rpy.info should be installed (built from manual.texi). Additional info:
Any additional movement on this bug? I didn't see any movement in CVS: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/rpy/FC-4/?root=extras (except for rebuilding rpy for R-2.2.0). If nobody is working on it, I might try and look into a patch to the spec file.
A patch is always welcome. :-) I agree that this is bug, and that it needs to be fixed. As you have pointed the solution is simple, but I have been busy with other more pressing matter for the moment. Thank you for the report.
Instead of installing the info documents I was thinking about making the html and pdf variants. The Makefile we ship has all these targets. Would you oppose such change?
I don't oppose the inclusion of the html and pdf, but I would oppose the omission of info docs. html and pdf aren't nearly as searchable as info, and info is integrated into emacs, where I do all my Python/RPy program anyway. ;-) I will try and work up a patch.
We should also report upstream a propose to change the the name of the file from manual.texi to a more descriptive rpy.texi, which would then install the info file as rpy.info and also avoid the need to patch the rpm to change the name.
Created attachment 124801 [details] Spec file to handle installing info Updated spec file to install info docs, uses a patch to the source, will also upload next.
Created attachment 124802 [details] Patch to source to build info docs as rpy.info Patch which installs info doc as rpy.info rather than manual.info. Will send upstream.

Fixed in rpy-0.4.6-7.fc4. info docs are now installed and appear in directory. Thanks. Closing bug.
"Patch which installs info doc as rpy.info rather than manual.info" has now been applied in the upstream cvs repository. A new release will occur in approximately a weeks time. -Greg Warnes (upstream maintainer)
