Is building the API docs required?

Hi list,

if a -devel package could include API docs from upstream, should these
be packaged too or not? This recently came up during a package review,
where the package submitter said that probably everyone reads the online
docs anyway (where he imho has a point, I think I never read installed
API docs, except for man pages).

What's the official stance on this? The packaging guidelines
(https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_documentation)
just say:
> Any relevant documentation included in the source distribution should
> be included in the package in the proper documentation directory
Which begs the question: are API docs relevant documentation?


Thanks in advance,

Dan
