Today I went through the Monday-morning ritual of updating my fink installation, and discovered this little gem:
> Information about 4566 packages read in 5 seconds. > The following package will be installed or updated: > gnupg > The following 19 additional packages will be installed: > cyrus-sasl2-dev cyrus-sasl2-shlibs docbook-bundle docbook-dsssl-ldp > docbook-dsssl-nwalsh docbook-dtd libtool14 > libtool14-shlibs libusb libusb-shlibs openjade openldap-ssl > openldap-ssl-shlibs opensp4 opensp4-dev opensp4-shlibs readline5 > readline5-shlibs sgml-entities-iso8879 I'm sure there's a reason for the fact that this gnupg update requires *19* new packages to get installed, but it still strikes me as a tad excessive and a bit of "feature bloat"... I mean documentation is important, but what's wrong with some nice, self-contained manpages (or even texinfo files) -- do we really need to write a utility's documentation using DocBook? -- Viktor ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
