Hi! Sorry for the too much irritated previous answer,
but lack of sleep due to little baby boy is the main reason ;-)

That could be helpful... but I need some time to check with more
skilled DDs about this issue.

Really, at the time when I started packaging OIIO I was told by my
sponsor (the DD uploading the package for me and following as tutor
my application as a DM) that PDF documentation should be removed, if
source code providing that PDF via compilation process is available.
And I did it that way; my fault not digging deeper for the reason.
Doing it now, however ;-P

I'll let you know something more specific once I understand the
situation.

Cheers.
