Hi Packagers :-)

I think we could benefit a lot from the current susehelp system if we 
use it to integrate the package documentation into it.

All what has to be done for this is:
1) create/reuse a desktop file containing:
DocPath=<path_to_docu>
X-DOC-Weight=<order-number>
(and for packages comming with html docs and no inline viewer in the 
application itself for example:
Exec=susehelp <path_to_docu>
)

2) create a directory in 
/usr/share/susehelp/meta/<packagename>

3) place the desktop file in this directory

Result: People starting susehelp (KDE- or GNOME-Helpcenter) will see a 
link to the package documentation.

What do you think about this?

With kind regards,
Lars
