Package: wireplumber-doc
Version: 0.5.2-3
Dear Maintainer,
The "Locations of WirePlumber’s files" page refers to $sysconfdir and
$datadir in several places, and says:
$syscondir and $datadir refer to meson’s directory options
[https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html#directories]
and are hardcoded at build time
/usr/share/doc/wireplumber/html/daemon/locations.html
On the meson page, searching for $datadir gives "share" as the location,
and one has to read the section above that to see it's relative to a
"prefix", which may be /usr, /usr/local, or something else.
This variability may be useful when the documentation's posted online.
When included in a binary package, I think it would be better to have
the variables pre-expanded. In other words, replace every instance of
$datadir with /usr/share and $sysconfdir with /etc, and remove the
"meson's directory options" sentence.
- Michael
