Description Alex Lancaster 2005-09-22 00:17:14 UTC 
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).

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.
Comment 2 José Matos 2005-10-11 11:43:40 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 José Matos 2006-02-17 00:14:25 UTC 
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?
Comment 4 Alex Lancaster 2006-02-17 05:41:45 UTC 
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.
Comment 5 Alex Lancaster 2006-02-17 05:43:32 UTC 
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.

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.

Comment 9 Alex Lancaster 2006-02-19 09:40:52 UTC 
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.

Thank you for your work Greg as well to Walter before. 
rpy is a very useful piece of software :-) and 
I am looking forward for the next release. :-)
