Hello. I'm one of those people beaten by recent removal of gcc documentation. Both myself and people to whom I recommend Debian, *need* gcc documentation to be available in the system. So I had four options: - start a new flamewar on the issue, - stop to use Debian (and to recomment it), - install documentation in non-package form, - create appropriate documentation debs (for non-free). Since I'm a DD, the only real option for me was the last one. I've created gcc-4.1-doc-non-dfsg package, intended for non-free. This package builds several binary packages (cpp-4.1-doc, gcc-4.1-doc, gfortran-4.1-doc, tree;ang-4.1-doc), that contain all files - man pages, info and html docs - that have been in gcc-4.1 4.1.1-10 package [last version before documentation removal], but are not in the current 4.1.1ds1-13 package. I'm going to upload this to non-free. But before that, I'd like interested people to look into the package, and give any comments they feel appropriate. Currently, I've put the package to http://zigzag.lvk.cs.msu.su/~nikita/debian/gcc-doc/ If things will go well, I'll create similar things for other gcc version, and also gcc-doc-non-dfsg that will play the same role for documentation as gcc-defaults package plays for compiler itself. Nikita
