Yes, you are right. I do agree. We already have the html documentation collection in a separate package, xen-doc. So, when someone installs that package, they explicitly choose to do so. If they want to browse around at file:///usr/share/doc/xen/html/ then there should not be broken links all over the place. The difference between compressing or not compressing is 5.1M vs 5.2M measured by doing dpkg-deb -x on the xen-doc .deb before and after and then doing du -sch on the directory in which it was unpacked. https://salsa.debian.org/xen-team/debian-xen/-/commit/38cde19f59ee4121e048b23cfe7e9ea4ddcbdf60 (commit id will vanish because of heavily rebasing later, it's "d/rules: do not compress /usr/share/doc/xen/html") > (Sidenote: I doubt including a file mentioning how to compile your own 2.6.18 > kernel > to include support for VT-d is useful, and it is 10+ y/o, but that's probably > an > upstream issue) Heh, yes. Patches to remove obsolete documentation can be sent upstream directly. Have fun, Hans
