Better still (IMO, of course :) would be to have a foo-doc-source (AKA foo-doc-texi, except that it isn't necessarily texinfo; it could be SGML, for instance) package, which can be used to make *packages* containing the docs in whatever format you require, which could then be installed and deinstalled in the normal way. A large problem with this is keeping the versions of documentation installed the same as the version of the package. Another way to do it might be to distribute `dummy' packages foo-doc-html and so on, which depend on the foo-doc-source and which generate the correct form on-the-fly. This would save mirror space, but would require the doc-source to be installed (since it would have to Depend on the doc-source package). &E -- Andy Mortimer, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.poboxes.com/andy.mortimer PGP public key available on key servers -- I found myself alone, alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
