Now that we decided that we want to ship info documentation we should decide how to package such files: info files could be gzipped by makepkg or stay uncompressed.
On my system they already take quiet a lot of space compared to much more packages shipping man-pages: [EMAIL PROTECTED] andyrtr]# du -ch /usr/share/info/ 21M /usr/share/info/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] andyrtr]# du -sch /usr/share/man 61M /usr/share/man Some are really big like gcc.info being 1.8mb uncompressed. I vote for auto-gzipping the info pages like man-pages. And shouldn't we check and remove the $pkgdir/usr/share/info/dir file that every pkg with info files produces? Maybe we can also print at the end of the makepkg run an array of found info files the packager should put into the *.install file. Right now we use the proto-info.install shipped with the "abs" pkg. An automated solution would be also nice for that. Opinions? -Andy
