I would like to propose that all packages which provide "info" documentation files move these info files into a splitoff, perhaps "x-infodoc".
Personally I never use the info-doc system as I'm more accustomed to man files, plain text and html. Now I am not a long-time unix user, only a casual BSD user since 1992, not really a full-time unix user until Mac OS X, so I may be in the minority.
The info files for the various Fink packages seem to take up a lot of space. I just rm /sw/share/info/* which is fine for my personal machine, but I had this splitoff idea and wonder how others feel.
Partly the idea is due to my never-ending battle against disk space and more importantly inode usage; and also because I simply dislike keeping files I know I will certainly never use.
Packages could still "Recommeds" their' own infodoc splitoff so the splitoff would be selected by default for binary installation within dselect. At least there would be a way to remove them all without bypassing fink, for those people who don't want info docs.
Thanks for your comments, Carsten
