index.html contains mainly broken links

[Stuart Bishop]

Binary package hint: bzr

Most of the links in file:///usr/share/doc/bzr/html/index.html incorrectly point to files with the extension .htm instead of the correct .html. Either the links or the filenames are broken.

[UCAP (ucap)]

Working on it.

[UCAP (ucap)]

Fixed the links and updated the link to the wiki tutorial.

BTW, the index.html also links to a file bzr_man.html that does not exist.

Why are those files ending in .html?

If you use "make docs" in a bzr source tree it generates all of them with .htm extensions.

Arguably whoever is generating file:///usr/share/doc/bzr/html/index.html should be generating file:///usr/share/doc/bzr/html/index.htm

and the bug is in the packaging, not in the files themselves.

We can revisit this discussion if necessary (is there a reason .htm is unacceptable?)

Milestone for feisty.

[Etienne Goyer (etienne-goyer-outlands)]

To keep thing simple, I kept the .htm file suffix like upstream, and fixed the packaging instead.

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

sorry, why's this fix released? Has someone actually uploaded this? if they have, then where's notification on this bug saying that they have?

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

ah yes, has been done.

There's just nothing on the bug report about it - and people have been known to use the wrong status on things before...

Not sure but I think Etienne must have renamed them when installing,
or some tool did it for him?

Martin : Exactly. Instead of calling "make docs", the debian/rules file was calling rst2html directly and assume .html suffix for files. I changed it to use "make docs" instead, as John suggested above.

Sarah : sorry for not detail, but I assumed my comment above provided enough details, and that "Fix Released" status meant "Fixed package have been uploaded". An additional comment would have been redundant.
