I just committed two new build phases to ‘core-updates’:
• The ‘validate-documentation-location’ phase renames, if needed,
‘man’ to ‘share/man’ and ‘info’ to ‘share/info’.
• The ‘compress-documentation’ phase compresses man pages and Info
files with gzip, as per
<https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html> (the nice
thing being that we can implement the policy instead of just writing
it down. ;-))
As an example, the ‘share/info’ directory in libc is down from 4.3 MiB
to 1 MiB.
Hydra is building it now, we’ll see if it needs more tweaking.
As usual, comments welcome!
