I aggree with Ulrich in this case. This is just a suggestion for a default src_install funcion, nothing that should cover every possible case. So if you have some special DOC that does not work with the default install, you can still do it the normal way. So my suggestion for a default src_install: default_src_install() { if [ -f Makefile -o -f GNUmakefile -o -f makefile ]; then if emake DESTDIR="${D} install || einstall ; then die "install failed" else if [[ -n ${DOCS} ]]; then dodoc ${DOCS} || die "dodoc failed" fi fi fi } Any more comments? Good? Bad? Interested?
