to package maintainers, and, in some cases only, texdodpk
is not aware of these changes, examples:
-- amsldoc.dvi (not found, replaced by amsldoc.pdf)
-- amsthdoc.dvi (not found, replaced by amsthdoc.pdf)
-- grfguide.dvi (not found, replaced by grfguide.ps)
I am sad that texdoctk apparently requires manual maintenance of every
single doc file. This does not seem like a good idea. Why not search
for both .dvi and .pdf, at the very least? And surely subdir searching
would be a much better mechanism than explicitly specifying every
directory. Wow.
Staszek, I think you've talked with the texdoctk maintainer before.
Would you like to bring up this problem, maybe show them Thomas's
script, etc.? I am not inclined to hack up texdoctk.dat myself.
Thanks,
k
