Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-18 13:38:47 UTC
i hate info, emacs, lisp, etc... and usually prune the 'doc' dir just to save
space on my routers ... so i was wondering if you could add a config file
that'll let users tell portage to not merge certain things to the live filesystem ...

i'd also be useful for people who dont like to have nls support on their computer
and in order to save space, delete all the locales (except for the ones they use)

I agree with this proposal and I propose FILTER variable.

Examples
If you set FILTER="document", portage won't install /usr/share/doc/*
If you set FILTER="info", portage won't install /usr/share/info/*
If you set FILTER="man", portage won't install /usr/share/man/*

I proposed a feature not to install unnecessary documents on bug 9988.
If we have this FILTER, the feature can use FILTER instead of FEATURES variable. e.g. FILTER="other_language_document other_language_man"

FEATURES="nodoc noinfo noman" is implemented, but not documented atm.
