Software without documentation is completely useless, almost a crime. Docs must always be available, even on a tiny server. The sysadmin logs into the server, needs a brief look at the docs to fix stuff -- and is slowed down because the docs aren't there, and a web search turns up the wrong version, and a wild goose chase ensues? No way. Yes, there are exceptions. If the documentation is of excessive size, in a hostile format like PDF, and/or needs a ridiculous toolchain for building, then in rare cases separate -doc may be the least terrible way out, but it's always a symptom that docs are pitifully defective. > /usr/local/share/locale files - in -lang; In most cases useless on OpenBSD, most of that stuff isn't used in the first place. Certainly not important enough to consider special rules for it. KISS. Yours, Ingo
