[arch-general] [PATCH] core/linux: symlink current documentation on kernel upgrade
Hi all, Currently, Linux documentation provided by the linux-docs package is installed in /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/Documentation. We like documentation in /usr/share/doc 'round these parts, as per the Packaging Guidelines. Additionally, symlinking in the package means that users always have a path to the latest kernel documentation, without having to fiddle around with uname. Patch attached. Please let me know if I should be submitting this on a different list, or if there are formatting problems. Cheers, Quint

Site unseen, this seems like a sensible idea to me. Emily -- Emily Shepherd Computer Science Graduate, MEng (Hons) W: https://emilyshepherd.me/ M: +44(0)7575 721 231
