Re: .dev.YYYY.mmdd hardcoded docdir?

Confirmed, at
https://gitorious.org/freetds/freetds/source/8780c1f243abef142756bb9caf0062196d48b9d7:doc/Makefile.am#L9-17
TARGET_DOCDIR uses $(datadir) (which is usually /usr/share) so the problem.

I'm not sure however about --docdir. Should it point to main root (like
/usr/share/doc) or specific to project?

I think you are referring to configure option, in configure I have

docdir='${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE_TARNAME}'

I think we don't use this as we want to embed the version to this directory
however looking at my /usr/share/doc directory there is no versions but
only package name so perhaps the target we use is not right.

Our spec file say

The freetds-doc package contains the useguide and reference of FreeTDS
and can be installed even if FreeTDS main package is not installed

But this does not say we should be able to install different versions
