Yes, that is correct. But that's for all docs. I was thinking of further splitting out the categorization of docs. I personally have always thought of man pages, info pages, and "stuff in /usr/share/doc" differently. I want man pages around, but I don't really use info pages. I'm more likely to look online for something if the only docs I have on the system are info pages. Likewise with /usr/share/doc. I don't really dig in to that too often, but I will occasionally (really I do that mostly for the packages I maintain). And we already mark licensing files separately in the spec file, so I think of /usr/share/licenses differently. With nodocs we have all or nothing. I wanted a little more control. -- Dave Cantrell <[email protected]> Red Hat, Inc. | Boston, MA | EST5EDT -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
