9 No, considerably after then.

11 When we wrote PMS (and copied dohtml for Paludis), it would silently
12 return non-zero.
13
14 r9479 (Tue Mar 18 22:12:52 2008 UTC) changed this to noisily return
15 non-zero.
16
17 r9484 (Wed Mar 19 09:45:51 2008 UTC) changed this to noisily return
18 non-zero, but only if nothing at all was installed, and to return zero
19 if a directory was skipped but other things were installed.
20
21 r14760 (Sat Oct 31 20:53:43 2009 UTC) changed this back to the original
22 behaviour, but made it warn noisily too.
23
24 r14762 (Sat Oct 31 22:59:35 2009 UTC) changed this back to return zero
25 if directories were skipped.
26
27 Note that this is an issue because recent Doxygen versions appear to
28 have changed defaults and will tend to generate subdirectories. Thus,
29 any package that currently does dohtml doxygen/html/ || die will, with
30 Portage, do one of:
31
32 * die with no explanation
33 * die with an explanation
34 * install broken links with no warning
35 * install broken links with a warning
