Local documentation searching does not work due to typo in JS link

Compare the behaviour of http://docs.python.org/search.html

It's a typo in the symlink:

$ ls -al /usr/share/doc/python/html/_static/jquery.js
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2009-10-30 16:48 /usr/share/doc/python/html/_static/jquery.js -> ../../../../javacript/jquery/jquery.js

That should be

../../../../javascript/jquery/jquery.js

not
../../../../javacript/jquery/jquery.js

(there's an "s" in "javascript")

The attached patch ought to work.

Accepted python2.6 into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Accepted python3.1 into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Is this fixed in lucid's python2.6?

The fix does not seem to me to have worked (python2.6, karmic).

file:///usr/share/doc/python/html/search.html contains the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="_static/jquery.js"></script>

But this is a symlink:

$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/python/html/_static/jquery.js
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2009-11-04 11:37 /usr/share/doc/python/html/_static/jquery.js -> ../../../../javascript/jquery/jquery.js

The target of that symlink does not exist:

$ ls -l /usr/share/jquery.js
ls: cannot access /usr/share/jquery.js: No such file or directory

And in any case, it seems like /usr/share would be an odd destination for it.

Package versions:

python2.6-doc 2.6.4-0ubuntu2
python-doc 2.6.4-0ubuntu1

Mary, I think you misread the symlink:

/usr/share/doc/python/html/_static/jquery.js -> ../../../../javascript/jquery/jquery.js

It is /usr/share/*javascript*/*jquery*/jquery.js,
not /usr/share/jquery.js

But are you saying it doesn't work in practice? If jquery.js isn't there, that would probably be the fault of the libjs-jquery package.

Actually it seems in order:

$ pwd
/usr/share/doc/python/html/_static

$ ls -l ../../../../javascript/jquery/jquery.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 120763 2009-02-20 09:38 ../../../../javascript/jquery/jquery.js

And searching from file:///usr/share/doc/python/html/search.html now works.

I'm not sure what I was testing: possibly an incorrectly reloaded page in Firefox.

So: works for me now.

I also confirm that the search box now works fine.

Please fix in lucid's python2.6 as well.

3.1 still needs to be tested.

checked python3.1-doc in -proposed, already fixed in lucid.
