Hi all,
I am running into a problem during the apidoc generation phase when using
maven-debian-helper [0] ever since the maven target to generate the
documentation was changed from "javadoc:jar" to "javadoc:javadoc". This was
done to fix #711852 and I was under the impression after a short glimpse at
the maven-javadoc-plugin documentation that this change shouldn't break
anything. It does, however, break the build in a package I am currently
working on.
The basic problem seems to be that mh_make generates a PKG-doc.install like:
target/apidocs/* usr/share/doc/PKG/api
which works fine if the documentation is build with "javadoc:jar" [1] but
breaks when it is run with "javadoc:javadoc" [2] but I don't quite understand
why this happens and what the best way to deal with this is. The error is:
…
dh_install -O--buildsystem=maven
dh_install: libjackson2-core-java-doc missing files (target/apidocs/*), aborting
make: *** [binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
Which does not happen with "javadoc:jar". In the "javadoc:javadoc" case the
documentation is generated in target/site/apidocs and I can fix the build by
changing the PKG-doc.install file to:
target/site/apidocs/* usr/share/doc/PKG/api
but I am not sure if that is the correct way to deal with this problem. Are
you aware of the underlying reason why this happens and the best way to deal
with this?
[0] Using the debhelper sequence, but happens with CDBS too and build logs are
version 1.6.5 but can be reproduced with 1.6.4 in cowbuilder
