Documentation packages?

sweiss · 2005-05-18 07:16:27

Hello. I noticed that there are a lot of packages which come without documentation (I'm referring specifically to Qt currently).

Has there been a thought of creating -docs packages (similar to what other distro do with -devel packages)?

Just a thought.

a quote from the wiki: http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchLinux

In its goal to be simple and lightweight, I've left out the relatively useless portions of a linux system, things like /usr/doc and the info pages. In my own personal experience these are rarely used, and the equivalent information can be obtained from the net if need be. Man pages all the way...

and the equivalent information can be obtained from the net if need be.

It's right, but unfortunately my notebook hasn't pernament connection to Internet. :-/

run "wget --mirror" on the online docs
