My usual suspect for disk space in /usr/share/doc is kdelibs, with the |
| 15 |
doc use flag turned on it installs the whole kde api documentation, |
| 16 |
which takes a lot of space ... so I either set -doc for |
| 17 |
kde-base/kdelibs, or just set -doc globally and just enable it for |
| 18 |
things i now I might need... (note that that won't remove all of the |
| 19 |
/usr/share/doc dirs / files, but removes most of the large ones...) |
