Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883512 --- Comment #2 from Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxx> --- > there's a lot of documentation, (358400 bytes in 49 files) Where does "a lot" start for you? ;) 358KB for a -devel subpackage is a joke. The resulting -devel package for x86_64 is just around 8 KiB! It gets less funny size-wise when the documentation adds 2MB or 3MB to the size of the RPM package, or hundreds of files, but only if too many -devel packages do this (as that increases the time it takes to populate the buildroot). [...] Anyway, it's good to mention the related guidelines, but IMO you should be more explicit about why you recommend a -doc package. Neither 385400 bytes nor 49 files sounds convincing to a packager, who's not a packaging newbie. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Documentation The ReviewGuidelines say: | MUST: Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage. | (The definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, | but is not restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity).
