Thanks for this explanation. It's a bit unfortunate though, that I needed to file a bug report for this. Maybe take this as advisement to communicate such decisions (more) public, i.e. in the release notes. Also some hint in a README.Debian may help, as long as the package is still installeble. > And here's the doc: > > $ xdg-open https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v$(uname -r | grep -oP > '^\d+\.\d+') While I do get the rationale and most of the time do use the online version upstream, there may be situations when a user is unable to access the internet. For this reason I wanted to install this package, you know, for when the zombie apocalypse hits or something. ;) I'll just httrack it then as a workaround: $ sudo apt install httrack $ httrack https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v$(uname -r | grep --color=never -oP '^\d+\.\d+') Best, Peter -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2098156 Title: no content in linux-doc since Noble release Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I recently installed linux-doc on 24.04 LTS only to find that there are no files in it, changelog and README are the only ones. A cursory search on packages.ubuntu.com shows that this seems to be the case since the Noble release. All packages prior, i.e. Jammy and older still have the actual contents. There seems to be no replacement either. Searching for known existing files in the kernel docs, i.e. by way of `apt-file search kernel-parameters.html`, turned up empty. What happened? Nowhere could I find an explanation. My first guess was some restructuring of the repository, but then that search above should have turned up the new package. The package description only says that package is deprecated and will be dropped in the future, but no explanation as to why and how to go about acquiring the actual documentation of the running kernel.
