A -doc subpackage is justified to split off _huge_ documentation in order to reduce the size of an installation, spin, or -devel pkg depchain. The purpose of -doc packages is not to strip off all documentation of packages. Small doc files, such as those you mention (also NEWS, AUTHORS), may be nice to have available always together with the software - whereas large books or generated API HTML trees for developers may be considered more optional. -- Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) - Linux 3.6.0-0.rc4.git2.1.fc18.x86_64 loadavg: 0.55 0.18 0.10 -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
