Re: [Pkg-octave-devel] Issues regarding octave-interval 1.5.0-1
* Oliver Heimlich <oheim@posteo.de> [2016-06-10 01:04]:
I prepared a split version [1]. Instead of separating *all* arch-indep
files into a separate xxx-common package (as it has been done in
octave-communications and octave-ltfat), I have separated only the
arch-indep documentation into a separate xxx-doc package.
I find this approach much easier to handle and to maintain, because it
creates two packages that can be used independently and the user may
choose to install the documentation or not.
Of course, it does not remove /usr/share completely from the arch-dep
package, but should be sufficient for the Lintian thresholds:
octave-interval - /usr/share 891kB (73%) clearly below 2MB
octave-interval-doc - /usr/share 1.3MB
Also, this should fix the high memory consumption of arch-dep only
builds as well as a problem on sparc64 with Imagemagick.
If you are fine with this change, I am going to work on the privacy
issue (external CSS in the manual) next.
I quickly check your changes and they look fine. Having a -doc instead
of a -common package is probably the best solution. Please, go ahead.
