[Bug]: 1.21.1 /usr/share/doc/conky name mistake? #1928
Comments
How did you install it? Generally the -pre stuff should be removed from the versioning when Lines 179 to 184 in 7526e7e
I'm trying to understand if this is a regression, or you just don't like the versioning on the docs dir. Now that I think about it, it probably doesn't make sense to use the -pre and git sha in the version for the install path, so I might just remove that anyway. |
We version the docs install path, but there's no reason to include the -pre and git sha in the version for the path. With the git sha in particular, it could result in having a bunch of dirs for each separate git commit (annoying). This resolves #1928.

Hi @brndnmtthws I am compiling Conky from source in Slackware, with a Slackware build script. I've actually been using this build script maybe for 2 years. DOCS are off; -DBUILD_DOCS=OFF I have -DBUILD_DOCS=OFF because in Slack, you don't typically place docs under /usr/share but /usr/doc instead, that is why I am manually doing this and copying docs from the pre directory. Unless i can turn it ON and all the docs are manually placed in /usr/share/docs with no need to copy from pre, and I just only need to make /usr/doc and then copy all the docs from /usr/share to /usr/doc? I'm attaching the build script for you to see, it's actually called THANKS P.S. |
What happened?
When I compile Conky from source in Linux 1.21.1 now has the /path named as;
/usr/share/doc/conky-1.21.1-pre-
that I copy the doc contents out of.Previous versions were like this;
conky-1.19.6_pre
conky-1.20.1_pre
They use to always be as 'Version Number' _pre
Now in 1.21.1 (dash pre dash) -pre-
Which this seems a bit of odd naming.
Version
1.21.1
It would be nice in the next version updates the source compiled it as /usr/share/doc/conky-version
I never could understand all the _pre stuff...
THANKS
