Notes about indexing in dhelp
=============================

Right before releasing Lenny, it was decided that dhelp was going to cause too
much trouble when upgrading, because of the policy of index-when-installing-
packages. For that reason, that policy was dropped, and now dhelp doesn't index
documentation on installation. 

You can't configure this behaviour, but you can force (re)indexing of the
documentation associated to certain package(s) using the utility provided in
the examples/ directory. You should use it like this:

    sudo ruby /usr/share/doc/dhelp/examples/index_package_doc.rb <package> ...

You can also force reindexing of all the currently installed documentation by
calling the weekly cron job directly:

    sudo /etc/cron.weekly/dhelp
