[cups.general] CUPS documentation and web content at the same place

[Johannes Meixner]

Hello,

see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546023#c6

When compiling CUPS
   ./configure --with-docdir=/path/to/documentation/cups
installs both the CUPS documentation and the CUPS web content
at the same place (it also sets the cupsd's DocumentRoot
default value to this directory).

This causes an issue when distributing CUPS as RPM packages
because in RPM one specifies documentation files explicitely as
   %doc /path/to/documentation/cups
so that the user can decide not to install the documentation
(via RPM's install-option "--excludedocs") if he doesn't need
documentation (e.g. on a server machine).

But because both the CUPS documentation and the CUPS web content
become installed into the CUPS documentation directory, this
means that without installed documentation from RPM packages
the CUPS web content is also missing.

Therefore I would like to ask if it makes sense to have
two configure options, one for the actual CUPS documentation
and another one for the CUPS web content like
   ./configure --with-docdir=/path/to/documentation/cups \
               --with-web-content-dir=/path/to/webcontent/cups

What do you think?


Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
