qtcreator myself, so I couldnot notice this bug.This is a difficult issue for
two reasons:1) It affects all submodules, not just qt3d (we have 31
*-doc-htmlpackages at the moment).2) Currently our .install files for the
*-doc-html look very simpleand basically install everything under
/usr/share/qt5/doc/{MODULE}.To fix this, we need to explicitly list all files
we want to install,except the examples-manifest.xml files, which should go to
-examples.This is manual work, and it is easy to miss some such files.I wonder
if it will be better to simply make the *-examples packagesrecommend the
*-doc-html packages. (Not depend because the examplescan be run without
qtcreator.) What do you think about this?I am currently on vacation so I will
be able to work on this notearlier than in two weeks. But hopefully we can get
this fixed beforeQt 5.12 reaches unstable.Is this something I can help with to
reduce your workload post vacation?Scarlett --Dmitry Shachnev
