I would argue that the texlive-latex-extra-doc package should be only a *suggested* package when installing texlive-latex-extra. Because the default policy is to install packages that are marked as *recommended*, it means that a (currently) 317 MB package will be downloaded any time one wants to install texlive-latex-extra, unless you explicitly specify you don't want recommended packages.
But requiring the use of the --no-install-recommends flag with apt-get is problematic because it also prevents any other recommended software from being installed. It is better to allow the user to "opt-in" to the large download, than require the user to have to "opt-out" of it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/822828 Title: texlive-latex-extra-doc is too big in size and includes unneeded big minitoc-fr.pdf file (~27Mb) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-extra/+bug/822828/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
