If an average -doc is 500k, that times ~10 arches is 5MB. That times 100 and counting Haskell packages is a bit. > > * We put the haddock interface files in the -dev packages. > > (Not sure about the implications) The implications are that without having a .haddock file available in -doc, ghc6-doc's indices won't get updated without having the -dev package installed, too. There's that 50k-100k or so that a .haddock file will grow the -dev package's size, whether or not a -doc is installed. But as far as space is concerned, it's still a lesser evil than arch:any -doc, IMHO. I'm reassigning this to haskell-devscripts since it still puts .haddock files to -doc. What does haddock even use from a .haddock file, to generate that library index? There's the module names, links to the package specific docs and the cabal name of the package it's from, but anything else? IMHO it wouldn't be too difficult to put that much into some plain old text file. Do we even need to carry full .haddock files around, as far as -doc packages are concerned? They're necessary for building -doc packages, but that's a separate issue. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
