Hi, there has been a discussion about if we need cache for man-db for users which use man pages or update system only from time to time and thus don't need to update cache every day. man-db as it is now depends on systemd which brings another set of packages. The use case is "I just want to read man page. So I install man which on the other hand download another set of packages. I want to read man page and it downloads systemd.".
Bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1119625 My suggestion is to create a subpackage (called minimal for example), which will be without cron/*.timer file. Thus no dependency on systemd. User will be responsible for updating cache. The proposal was to make this man-db-minimal implicit, not explicit. I would like to start discussion if it is really important to update cache periodically (so keep it implicit and create man-db-minimal without update) or make it optional (man-db without update and create man-db-enhanced for example).
