plotdata folder missing on CTAN #373

Open TorbjornT opened 3 years ago

TorbjornT commented 3 years ago

The plotdata folder should, according to the manual be included in the doc tree. For example on page 30 of the manual it says

Note that the data file (and all others referenced in this manual) are shipped with pgfplots; you can find them in the subfolder doc/latex/pgfplots/plotdata.

However, the folder is, as far as I can see, missing on CTAN, and hence in TeX Live etc. Do you know if something wrong happened on the latest upload to CTAN so the folder was excluded, or is the manual not up to date?

Possible fix:

The relevant lines were last modified by https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgfplots/commit/d4a5250105813f60388b2c2084fa27823e6e276f, in 2013.

For a workaround, either copy the whole directory plotdata from git repo, or decompress it from local file $TEXMFDIST/doc/latex/pgfplots/pgfplots.doc.src.tar.bz2.
