Subject: [gentoo-dev] Default DOCS for einstalldocs and HACKING file
Date: Tue, 07 Jun 2016 22:50:30
Message-Id: 57574F9D.9040008@gentoo.org
1 From what I've seen, HACKING is a fairly common doc in FOSS projects.
2 It doesn't seem to have been included in the default DOCS for
3 einstalldocs in EAPI6. While going through the MATE packages, I noticed
4 that we have quite a few packages that include HACKING in DOCS, so I
5 cannot delete the DOCS array and take advantage of the automagic doc
6 detection feature of einstalldocs.

8 Does anyone know why we omitted this file from the default DOCS? A
9 quick grep of the main repo shows ~370 ebuilds with HACKING listed. Is
10 this file no longer considered worthy of being included by default in
11 our installed docs? If so, looking for advice on whether it is worth
12 keeping or dropping that file from my packages?
