Er, do you mean exim-doc, which was split into a separate package?
I am really again this idea !
Perhaps we could reduce the size of exim-doc.
from exim-doc-4.43-1.FC3.1 :
$ du -s /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/* /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/
152 /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/config.samples
1340 /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/faq
3336 /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/html
1320 /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/pdf
2540 /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/ps
1512 /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/texinfo
10204 /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/
We can remove faq/ (already in html/) pdf/ ps/ and texinfo/ .
In this case, we have :
$ du -s /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/
3492 /usr/share/doc/exim-doc-4.43/
Some examples :
$ du -s gcc-3.4.2 postgresql-7.4.7 libxml2-devel-2.6.16 xorg-x11-
doc-6.8.1.902 rpm-devel-4.3.2 qt-devel-3.3.3
8088 gcc-3.4.2
6956 postgresql-7.4.7
7832 libxml2-devel-2.6.16
10752 xorg-x11-doc-6.8.1.902
21852 rpm-devel-4.3.2
37136 qt-devel-3.3.3
Should we remove gcc, postgresql, libxml2, xorg-x11, rpm-devel, qt-devel
doc ?
Too bad.
Well in current rawhide there isn't much of a gain left except for
tetex-doc. It almost seems silly to be worry about dropping exim when
the 3rd largest package in the system (openoffice.org-i18n and
eclipse-platform being larger), could at least be cut down in size a
bit, it was only 30meg in fc2, and i doubt someone wrote 200 new pages
of docs for it. Its kinda a confusing layout but it looks like most
documents in it are both in pdf and dvi, plus there is a bunch of html
documents and make files.
