Hi all,

I'd like to make folks aware of something, and let this be discussed
and see if perhaps some action should be taken.

There is a Bash-3.0 Docs tarball that can be downloaded which has
lots of additional Bash docs in many formats. This tarball is rather
large (1.9 MB), and because if this the following may not be suitable
for LFS.

Anyway, if the docs tarball is downloaded and untarred (after untarring
the Bash tarball and changing into the Bash source tree), running a
simple sed command (to establish an HTML dir) on a Makefile.in file will
cause 2 HTML files to be installed in /usr/share/doc/bash-3.0.

The only bash docs installed right now are in man and info format. These
files are difficult to print, as well as being difficult to search
through.

Seeing how the Bash documentation is expansive, it may be nice to have
the HTML files installed, allowing folks to easily print and have
browser search capability.

What say the group?
