Install the writing_udev_rules file in /usr/share/doc

[b3nt@…]

There's an excellent html file in the udev source that isn't installed by default. Udev seems increasingly important and it's very likely that everyone who does LFS will need to customise their udev rules in some way. I think the writing-udev-rules html file should be installed in /usr/share/doc. Could a command like this be added to the udev page in the book please?

install -m 755 -d /usr/share/doc/udev_rules && install -m 644 docs/writing_udev_rules/index.html /usr/share/doc/udev_rules

Sure, and I think it might (finally) solve bug 853 too! In line with recent changes though, I think it'd be more fitting to install it to /usr/share/doc/udev-$udevVersion. i.e.

install -m 755 -d /usr/share/doc/udev-068 && install -m 644 docs/writing_udev_rules/index.html /usr/share/doc/udev-068

Actually, if all you're going to install is one file, you can use just one command to create the directory *and* install it:

install -v -m644 -D docs/writing_udev_rules/index.html \

/usr/share/doc/udev-068/index.html

and just how are LFS users going to read this HTML page when LFS doesn't install an HTML browser?

Well, bash', bzip2', gettext', groff', perl' and sed' show up here as having .html files installed, so I guess the user will use whatever they are using currently to view the udev docs too :)
