Maybe we should build all packages with their respective documentation, and just modify pacman so that that it can ignore or install the files in: /usr/share/info and /usr/share/doc, for example:
pacman -S --documented gcc or add an option to pacman.conf like: InstallInfos = Yes Otherwise the guys that need the documentation would be forced to recompile every package they need. If you dont want the Info pages then pacman would just skip copying the documentation directories... :-D On Sun, 2005-04-10 at 14:14 -0400, Yonathan Dossow wrote: > Jason Chu wrote: > > >>>I'd also want a patch for makepkg to actually support it. > >>> > >>> > >>=================== > >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] src]# diff -u /usr/bin/makepkg /usr/local/bin/makepkg > >>--- /usr/bin/makepkg 2005-01-11 18:01:28.000000000 -0500 > >>+++ /usr/local/bin/makepkg 2005-04-01 17:36:45.000000000 -0500 > >>@@ -562,8 +562,8 @@ > >> > >> # remove info/doc files > >> cd $startdir > >>-rm -rf pkg/usr/info pkg/usr/share/info > >>-rm -rf pkg/usr/doc pkg/usr/share/doc > >>+#rm -rf pkg/usr/info pkg/usr/share/info > >>+#rm -rf pkg/usr/doc pkg/usr/share/doc > >> > >> # move /usr/share/man files to /usr/man > >> if [ -d pkg/usr/share/man ]; then > >>==================== > >> > >> > > > > > > > maybe makepkg needs an extra option to build with the documentation, > like makepkg ---doc, then if the user need docs, rebuild the pkg. > > >Are any info files stored in /usr/share/doc?
