[tex-live] Docdir configure option not honoured

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Andreas,

sorry for the late reply, I was on a meeting.

If 
	$data = /gnu/store/a45w3lck41242h4j4qxcz50vzmgpq9ih-texlive-2014-data
	$doc  = /gnu/store/ds0hpqkpjfbdwyngi3yv58vm1xiv46d9-texlive-2014-doc

I don't know what the layout would be - is $doc also TDS? or only the doc
part of texmf-dist?

In case it is a TDS, then you have
	TEXMFROOT = $data
then probably best is to adapt
	TEXMFDOCS = $TEXMF/doc//;!!$doc/doc//
plus 
	TEXMFDBS = {!!$doc,...}

mktexlsr will create a ls-R file in $doc since it uses TEXMFDBSto
determine which one.

If you want to go without ls-R there (not recommended, there are a lot
of documents!) then remove the !! and the entry in TEXMFDBS


If $doc is the texmf-dist/doc directory, then I *guess* it works the same
way, but I am not sure.

But simply set it up like you want, and then do some
	kpsewhich -show-path
calls.

Hope that helps

Norbert
