Bug#738844: libhdf5-doc does not contain documentation, only examples

[Enrico Zini]

Package: libhdf5-doc
Version: 1.8.12-9
Severity: normal

Hello,

thank you for packaging hdf5.

I installed libhdf5-doc hoping to have the documentation offline to be
able to work from an airplane, but I realised the package only has
examples:

  $ dpkg -L libhdf5-doc|sort
  /.
  /usr
  /usr/share
  /usr/share/doc
  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc
  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc/changelog.Debian.gz
  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc/changelog.gz
  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc/copyright
  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc/examples
  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc/examples/c++
  …
  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc/examples/c++/writedata.cpp.gz
  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc/examples/h5_attribute.c.gz
  …
  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc/examples/ph5example.c.gz
  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc/RELEASE.txt.gz

At least from the package description, I expected to find something like
this: http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/

Ciao,

Enrico
