Hello Guix,

Recently while packaging sysbench, I noticed that the gnu-build-system's
docdir expands to 'share/doc/name', while the 'install-license-files'
phase installs the license files to 'share/doc/name-version' instead:

It seems to me it'd be nicer to have both agree on the same docdir.  We
could drop the version and use gnu-build-system's docdir, or alter the
default gnu-build-system docdir to use a versioned output.  The later
some more troublesome, as we'd have to do the same adjustment for each
build system, and I'm not convinced of the value added.  So I'd suggest
we simply normalize to use the standard docdir.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Maxim

This does not really answer your question, but if we do this, we could
combine this with another change:

Some software does not work with a COPYING or LICENSE file, or they do
but also have other relevant licenses.  E.g., gnunet-scheme follows
REUSE and puts the license texts in a LICENSES directory and some extra
information in '.reuse/dep5'.  It would be nice if those were copied
as well.

Also, to partially answer your question: probably not all
gnu-build-system packages actually implement the 'docdir' option
and might even error out if it is passed.  Fixing these build failures
might be tedious.

Greetings,
Maxime.

What is REUSE?

Even the packages using their own configure script probably would
install their doc under /share/doc/$name/ as this is the standard on FHS
distribution.  I'm not suggesting to tweak docdir, I'm suggesting to use
the default, non-versioned value.

Thanks,

Maxim

Hi,

Maxime Devos <maximedevos@HIDDEN> skribis:

You can use the #:license-file-regexp argument of =E2=80=98gnu-build-system=
=E2=80=99 in
such a case.

If the file name becomes common, we can update the default
=E2=80=98%license-file-regexp=E2=80=99 in =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99.

HTH,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

Fine with me!  We can do that in =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99.
