It seems that INSTALL_MASK works only at merge time, so that if you |
| 32 |
build a package at one machine (with INSTALL_MASK set to f.ex. |
| 33 |
/usr/share/doc) and install it on the same machine, you get the expected |
| 34 |
behaviour. But the INSTALL_MASK:ed directories and their contents are |
| 35 |
still present in the binary package since they're not filtered out until |
| 36 |
the merge-step. So if you then want to merge this package on a different |
| 37 |
machine, and forget to set INSTALL_MASK you still get everything |
| 38 |
originally present under /usr/share/doc installed. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
One might argue that INSTALL_MASK should apply for |
| 41 |
binary-package-building also, but so is not the case at the moment. |
