So I'm syncing up our school's local mirror over our rather slow internet connection and I notice that the root-doc subpackage (which is part of the root package) has just hit the slightly obese size of 687MB [1]. For reference, the root source rpm is 27MB [2].
Now, I don't know if we have a policy for autogenerated documentation, but this seems a bit over the top to me, especially since the 20153 files in this package seem to have increased the size of filelists.xml.gz by 200KB (this is a guess based on the fact that that's how much filelists.xml.gz has increased in the last push). So now I've added root-docs to my manual rsync excludes (which only had kdelibs-apidocs in it before now). Can we have a guideline added to the packaging guidelines that basically says, "Make sure autogenerated documentation isn't ridiculously large".
