libraries with huge docs
Over the past months, several libraries have had their documentation separated out into a new package; libxml2 as the latest I've noticed. This is wonderful; thank you, devs! A typical user installs a library as a dependency and has absolutely no use for API docs; they're waste of space & bandwidth.
Hopefully this development continues. Doing a
du -hd 1 /usr/share/doc/ | sort -h
showed the biggest docs on my system belong to libstaroffice (49M), libwps (21M), libetonyek (20M), libwpd (17M), openjpeg2 (14M), libe-book (14M), and libvisio (9.1M). Almost all of these, on my system, are only required by libreoffice-fresh, which already in itself is probably the biggest package on my system!
