Hi, Currently we have 3 doc packages for octave, that ship the same material under different formats: - octave-doc: PDF format, compressed deb ~5Mb, unpacked ~5.4Mb - octave-htmldoc: HTML format, compressed deb ~1.5Mb, unpacked ~12.5Mb - octave-info: info format, compressed deb ~1Mb, unpacked ~1Mb I think we should merge all of them into a single package (octave-doc), the gain space is very small for someone who wants only one format, and somebody installing documentation packages is unlikely to be space-constrained (it's clearly not an embedded system). Moreover, that would simplify the presentation of the documents in the doc-base system, because the user manual has two entries in the system (one for PDF, one for HTML), while it would make more sense to have only one entry (showing the two formats for the same document, as is possible with doc-base). The same applies to the library/developers' manual. octave-htmldoc and octave-info would become transitional packages, dropped after buster is released. Is that ok with you? -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ http://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://www.debian.org
