[Python-modules-team] Bug#841141: /usr/bin/dh_sphinxdoc: dh_sphinxdoc doesn't recognise search pages with nonstandard paths

[Ximin Luo]

Package: sphinx-common
Version: 1.4.6-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/dh_sphinxdoc
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

SageMath generates docs with search indexes like this:

    jQuery(function() { Search.loadIndex("../searchindex.js"); });

This is not recognised by dh_sphinxdoc. If you change

192: my $loads_searchindex = $search =~ m/\QjQuery(function() { Search.loadIndex("searchindex.js"); });\E/;

to 

192: my $loads_searchindex = $search =~ m/\QjQuery(function() { Search.loadIndex("\E([^\/]*\/)?\Qsearchindex.js"); });\E/;

it will fix the problem.

Thanks,
X
