Hi,

Missing rdocs

From: Brian Candler <B.Candler@...>
Date: 2004-10-25 19:16:51 UTC
List: ruby-core #3559
In 1.8.2-preview2, there are a number of cases where libraries seem to be
marked up for rdoc, but the file is not listed in lib/.document and
therefore is not available for 'ri'

The one which tripped me up was DRb, which is heavily documented, but there
are a number of files which seem to have significant amounts of markup but
are not listed in lib/.document - these include

drb/drb.rb
ftools.rb
gserver.rb
ipaddr.rb
net/ftp.rb, net/http.rb, net/imap.rb, net/pop.rb, net/smtp.rb, net/telnet.rb
openuri.rb
optparse.rb
ping.rb  (why not net/ping?)
rdoc/README

Also, lib/cgi/.document probably could have "session/pstore.rb" added.

Just a suggestion... it's convenient to have the docs available via 'ri'
rather than having to look through the sources and pull them out by hand.

Regards,

Brian.
