This branch adds a
test/docs
pipeline, and a couple of working, tested usages against a somewhat random set of packages (7zip, apache2, keyutils, and zstd), that all currently pass.There should be roughly another ~600 docs (sub)packages that we can add these tests against, especially the ones that use the
split/manpages
(~557) andsplit/infodir
(~45) pipelines.HOWEVER -- some of these will fail, and possibly for reasons that we should go and fix. We have a few dozen docs packages which are totally empty (ie, don't ship any documentation, symlinks, or act as virtual packages depending on other packages). e.g.:
utmps-docs
,fio-docs
,libcmis-doc
,qt6-qtbase-doc
, etc. In each of those cases, there are subpackages using split/manpages or split/infodir, but nothing is actually happening. That seems to be indicative of a real problem in the packaging.
