Thanks, I was able to track it down from that hint.
For the record:
Read about it in "man make.conf".
The description there is quite sparse, and I haven't done any emerges since
I set it,
so I'm not sure exactly how it works. I think it just sets
version-independent symlinks,
and leaves it up to you whether to bookmark them.
Unless there's more going on, I'm going to prefer my little script. It
builds a web page
with current links, organized by package. I run it in a cron job several
times a week,
so it's pretty much up-to-date. These are all listed unless they are
linked from another
index.html higher in the directory structure. This makes most of the
entries pretty clean, with
a few notable exceptions: boost, java, apache, drscheme, python-docs and
mplayer among the packages I have. I'll probably tweak these when I get
some time.
For me the main advantage is in doing a quick check to see if a given
package actually has
any "index.html" files anywhere under /usr/share/doc. Just browsing to the
index
file can be a pain sometimes, and my patience is usually thinner than usual
when
I'm desperately seeking documentation.
So: am I the only one who likes this?
