Now that we decided that we want to ship info documentation we
should decide how to package such files: info files could be gzipped by
makepkg or stay uncompressed.
On my system they already take quiet a lot of space compared to much
more packages shipping man-pages:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] andyrtr]# du -ch /usr/share/info/
21M /usr/share/info/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] andyrtr]# du -sch /usr/share/man
61M /usr/share/man
Some are really big like gcc.info being 1.8mb uncompressed. I vote for
auto-gzipping the info pages like man-pages.
And shouldn't we check and remove the $pkgdir/usr/share/info/dir
file that every pkg with info files produces?
I thought that 'zipman' in makepkg.conf do this for info pages too.
Yes, but the compressing of info pages is only on the master branch.
There is no automatic removing of the dir file but that would require
hard-coding a file name into makepkg which I am not too sure about...
