Subject: [gentoo-dev] Purpose of USE=doc
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 18:05:49
Message-Id: 444E6454.5040907@gentoo.org
1 Hello here,
2
3 I'd like to see some clarification of intended doc use flag usage, so
4 that we wouldn't force users to download/install 40+ megs of docs for a
5 ~3 meg package, with the only reason being that USE=doc is for developer
6 documentation only. [1]
7
8 And no, I don't think we need yet another use flag. ;) FEATURES="nodoc"
9 is also not exactly useful as it's forcing users to download stuff they
10 are not interested in at all. (To make it more clear, I'm talking about
11 ebuilds that download docs in a separate tarball here.)
12
13 TIA for ideas.
