I *hate* having to fetch the source package > to produce a postscript output... This is a very different issue. I don't like the idea of producing .info files or .html files on demand. The purpose of a Linux distribution is to give a complete system, so that the user should not have to do anything by him/herself, nor waste CPU time. I realized that my earlier idea (foo-doc-ps and foo-doc-dvi) had a failure: .ps and .dvi documents are location-specific, american will like letter size, while european people will want a4 size. But I still dislike automatic building. If you just want not having to fetch the source package, what about a foo-doc-texi binary package (on a "do whatever you want with it" basis), which just ships the .texi source? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBM6+rZCqK7IlOjMLFAQFG7AP/cdjsSwItZtrgSsz2zRB4/1L4Wwdx/UaN +GL8ZmNGi19IPYAfaj7/gDEgDqy7Ysai8w+idjgKKJfC6zok8r+/kV2Zpa9Delph kZaNMA4saan9IRSbBTKi7Q5wcglFSX6wYBAGOI0IWG510IC7XjmHclRjFPT5Qe3Q smPbd9Jw+Oo= =RrwT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
