Bug#1100538: scipy-doc: broken mathjax

Source: scipy
Followup-For: Bug #1100538

I think we can close this bug, but I'll leave it open until the next
stable release is finalised in case you'd like more discussion.

With regards to javascript/mathjax.js itself, it's located (on the
filesystem) at /usr/share/javascript/mathjax/MathJax.js, provided by
the libjs-mathjax package (the exact path has now slightly changed
from previous versions)

As I mentioned in the previous message, the (scipy) doc package is
intended to be accessed via file:// not http://

But if you do want to access docs via a local webserver, it should be
possible to configure the server to include the /usr/share/javascript/
path.

This webserver configuration of course is out of scope for the
scipy-doc package itself. I'm not sure that it should be done by
default for debian's webserver packages, but that's a question that
could be raised in a bug filed against those packages.

It should be simple to add it manually to the webserver configuration
in any case, if desired.
