At the same time, based on bug 2006555 and the linked “packaging” mailing list discussion, the latest consensus is that HTML documentation generated by Sphinx or Doxygen doesn’t appear to be suitable for packaging for similar reasons. A significant number of Fedora community members seem to feel quite strongly that these particular bundling rules should be inviolable, and supersede anything in language-specific guidelines that might seem to provide an exception. You can also see this in the discussion the last few times the NodeJS packaging guidelines have come up on the “devel” mailing list. I’m not personally committing to one side or the other at the moment, just pointing out that the matter is significantly controversial. At some point, I think we (Fedora) are going to have to clarify the situation, and either commit to an outright ban on this kind of documentation or explicitly approve a set of rules for handling it properly. However, I’m not really prepared to personally touch off that particular powder keg at the moment. Instead, with apologies, I’m going to elect to step back from this review. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
