doc: Adapt GLib documentation path to GLib 2.80.1 #618
Conversation
Thanks for the patch. The changes actually happened in GLib 2.80.1. I will rework your patch and apply it. |
With GLib 2.80.1 (commit 548ec9f1), the installation paths for the documentation has changed once again. Rationale there was: The `gi-docgen` tool is not designed to be used like that. In particular, when nesting documentation directories, the generated `*.devhelp2` files (needed by Devhelp to show the documentation) are nested one directory level too deep for Devhelp to find them, and hence are useless, and the documentation doesn’t show up in this common documentation viewer.
oh, right.. 2.80.2 was the GVariant installation path fixup as a fallout from the previous move: Thanks for catching that |

I reworked the original patch and applied it in #619. |
With GLib 2.80.1 (commit 548ec9f1), the installation paths for the documentation
has changed once again.
Rationale there was:
The
gi-docgen
tool is not designed to be used like that. Inparticular, when nesting documentation directories, the generated
*.devhelp2
files (needed by Devhelp to show the documentation) arenested one directory level too deep for Devhelp to find them, and hence
are useless, and the documentation doesn’t show up in this common
documentation viewer.
