#214 lirc install docs to $(localstatedir)/lib/

[Craig]

lirc installs some documents to $(localstatedir)/lib/lirc/{images,plugins} - see https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc/git/ci/64ad61a66fb736710f190115439a621b87daa32d/tree/doc/Makefile.am lines 61-65:

vardocsdir              = $(localstatedir)/lib/lirc/plugins
vardocs_DATA            = index.html html-source/lirc.css

varimagedir             = $(localstatedir)/lib/lirc/images
varimage_DATA           = $(dist_image_DATA)

That seems strange and wrong... I assume $(docdir) was intended instead of $(localstatedir) ?

No, this is not a bug, it's on purpose. The vardocsdir stuff is support for installing 3-rd party driver documentation -we are moving to a model where hardware vendors maintain drivers separately from the lirc project.
