I completely agree with you, in the particular case of KDE. Without the helpfiles you can't even install other languages.
This means that if you want other languages, you have to rebuild kdelibs!
I know exactly what you mean. :-) Honestly, I have to build kdelibs twice, every time I update CRUX's KDE packages: once for the public copy, and once for myself. On Thursday 09 March 2006 12:55, Mark Rosenstand wrote:
If documentation is nicely integrated with the application, as it's the case with KDE, it isn't junk in my world either. Could we get a comment (and maybe even action) from the KDE maintainer/packager? :-)
I've been considering how to breach to topic of the creation of /usr/share/doc for some time, and am actually kind of glad that it has become a community issue, and not just a personal inconvenience. Speaking of stripping documentation: am I the only one who has noticed that OpenOffice is not stripped of its documentation? Is this because the documentation is stored someplace "out of the way" (/usr/lib/openoffice/help)? To my knowledge, kde cannot simply be ./configur'ed to change /usr/share/doc to /usr/lib/kde3/doc, so it looks like a big "allow or disallow /usr/share/doc" decision. Though back to the topic of KDE-related documentation: Would only core KDE stuff be permitted to install documentation, or would all KDE software be able to? For example, does anyone need/want amaroK's documentation? KOffice's? Smb4k's? BasKet? I'm certainly for allowing core KDE stuff to install documentation. If the CLC likes the idea, I'll commit the changes. Cheers, Nick
