Amen. I use FEATURES="noinfo noman nodoc" and USE="-doc" on all of my
server installs. My only desire is that there would be a way to turn them
off more completely - no texinfo, no perl man page generation, etc...
I
would also like to have them excluded from binary packages.
That can't be right can it? You mean, like openoffice-bin, or like the
ones you build yourself? I know that I often build on one system, install
on several, and when I do that, I really want them to be identical. I
think if you have your no-docs-of-any-kind option, you get your wish as to
locally built packages, but if you really mean things like openoffice-bin,
I doubt that any openoffice user would want it with absolutely no
documentation.
Confused,
