(Luk, sorry for not responding earlier, I thought this was a reminder
bug report, but it was a real mail.)
Steve, thanks for the reminder.
I've uploaded a package which stops building the doc under arm and
m68k.
I'm not interested in investigating the issue of building the
documentation under arm because:
- upstream have made local changes to the gtk-doc infrastructure after
the bootstrapping instead of fixing gtk-doc to suite their needs, I'm
not interested in chasing bugs they might have introduced under arm
in this process
- the doc is arch: all, so it would only matter for people preparing
uploads under arm
- the doc is painfully slow to build anyway, so it makes sense to not
build it under arm, even if it would work
- I'm not even sure the HTML files are not a form of modification
convenient enough for us; the doc build system has caused too much
headache in the past (an infinite loop in jade comes to mind)
Bye,
