[SOLVED] install documentation for selected pakages

Hi,

Is there a way to install documentation for some pakages? For example, modifiing the PKGBUILD file or something like this?

Re: [SOLVED] install documentation for selected pakages

EDIT: I'd misread your post to mean the opposite (how to prevent the inclusion of docs).
Docs should be included by default now (read this thread). If you can't wait until the next release of some package to get the docs, you should be able to grab the PKGBUILD from abs and just rebuild it with abs. If the docs aren't included when building the pkg, check that your /etc/makepkg.conf options array included "docs" and not "!docs".

Relevant section of /etc/makepkg.conf.

#########################################################################
# GLOBAL PACKAGE OPTIONS
#   These are default values for the options=() settings
#########################################################################
#
# Default: OPTIONS=(strip docs libtool emptydirs zipman)
#  A negated option will do the opposite of the comments below.
#
#-- strip:     Strip symbols from binaries/libraries
#-- docs:      Save doc and info directories
#-- libtool:   Leave libtool (.la) files in packages
#-- emptydirs: Leave empty directories in packages
#-- zipman:    Compress manpages with gzip
#
OPTIONS=(strip docs libtool emptydirs zipman)
