I was inspired by a discussion today on IRC and hacked this tonight: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-ruby-extras/ruby-debian-doc.git;a=summary From the README: # About ruby-debian-doc is an offline alternative to Ruby documentation websites such as http://rubydoc.info/ Although rubydoc.info provides a fantastic service to the Ruby community, sometimes we don't have a good internet connection. This package allows you to generate and view documentation from Debian Ruby packages installed on your local Debian system. # Usage $ ruby-debian-doc <package> That's it. After building the documentation, ruby-debian-doc will spawn a web browser to view the documentation by calling `xdg-open`. This should avoid the need for including documentation in binary packages, saving space in the archive and bandwidth for everyone (the gerenerated documentation is usually several times larger than the code itself). Please let me known what you think. In special, I will appreciate suggestions of a better name for the tool. -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
